JUDY HENSKE via JOHNNY HALLYDAY - Ten Years Later

Judy Henske was amused by the ILLFOLKS art work that tattooed her image onto Johnny Hallyday's arm. 

She eventually posted it, and a link to this blog, on her Facebook page: 

Giving you a few weeks notice to celebrate the anniversary of the post, and bake a cake, here's the song again. 
 
The most successful cover version for a song co-authored by Judy Henske is probably "Yellow Beach Umbrella," from Bette Midler. BUT internationally it may be "Sauvez-Moi" by the French hit-maker and legend Johnny Hallyday. 

Judy's lyrics were re-written into French. The anthemic music (by husband Craig Doerge) remains the same. 

The song, "Salvation," was originally sung by Henske's group "Rosebud," with Judy sharing the vocals with Jerry Yester and Craig Doerge. Monsieur Johnny does a good job by himself though some might be prone to side with Spike Milligan who said that "French singers are the bane of my existence!" Sapristi! The French, from Piaf to Aznavour and back, do have a habit of tattooing a tune with an indelible style of over-emoting! Hallyday takes it to a rockin' new level of excitement. 

His version is called "Sauvez-Moi."
