Michael Bolton En Duo Avec Johnny Hallyday - Fool For Love Requiem Pour Un Fou

Review by Bret Palsson

Fool For Love (Requiem Pour Un Fou): A Bittersweet Ballad That Sticks With You Alright, let’s talk about this gem from 1996—Fool For Love (Requiem Pour Un Fou) by Michael Bolton and Johnny Hallyday. Yeah, you heard that right. Two powerhouse voices coming together in one album? Sign me up. This isn’t just pop; it’s a ballad-heavy ride through emotions so raw they feel like they’re spilling out of your headphones. First off, the title track Fool For Love (Requiem Pour Un Fou) hits hard. It comes in two versions: English/French mashup and straight-up English. The bilingual version is where the magic happens. Don Black nailed the adaptation of the lyrics, but what really gets me is how these two legends trade lines. Johnny’s raspy grit meets Michael’s soulful belt—it’s like watching two old friends argue over who loves harder. And honestly? You don’t pick sides. You just sit there, letting their voices wash over you, thinking about every bad decision you’ve ever made for love. Then there’s the pure English version of the same song. Stripped down, no language flip-flopping—just raw emotion. Chris Kimsey and Jon Astley killed it with the arrangement here. There’s something haunting about hearing “fool for love” repeated over soft piano chords. It feels personal, like they’re singing directly to you. Like, hey buddy, we’ve all been idiots for someone at some point, haven’t we? What makes this project stand out isn’t just the star power—it’s the vulnerability. Gilles Thibaut and Gérard Layani wrote lyrics that cut deep without trying too hard. These aren’t flashy metaphors or cryptic poetry; it’s real talk about heartbreak and longing. Simple yet devastating. Released under Columbia in France, this album might not have blown up globally, but man, it deserves more credit than it gets. Listening to it now feels like finding an old photograph tucked inside a book—you remember exactly how it felt when you first saw it. Here’s the kicker though: why don’t collaborations like this happen more often? Imagine if today’s artists took risks like this instead of playing it safe with autotune-heavy bangers. Food for thought, huh?
