Oh,je connaissais cette chanson, mais j'étais tout petit, mais là je viens d'avoir une bonne claque,Franco est le premier a faire du rap,du hip hop au congo oooh mon dieu trop fort ,un chef d'oeuvre absolu🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This song gives me very vivid memories while growing up in the village as a young boy. It would play on my late father's NEC radio courtesy of Voice of Kenya Kiswahili service. How I wish the clock could rewind! Sweet memories and soothing music in my 50s. RIP Franco and RIP my dad Nicodemus Oinga.
Georgette song is a masterpiece about a beautiful memorable lady, most likely a tribute to Franco' s wife. It's all about immense love. What a grandeur!! Dr. Ogeto International
This is Franco around 30 years old (younger than most of us now) making such splendid music. This was persistent talent. I highly appreciate the rhythm guitar in "Georgette." It tickles my inner nerve!!
Je me préparais pour mon aventure en France. Cette aventure entamée un certain 06 AOÛT 1972, tout jeune inconscient, mais avec beaucoup d'ambitions, et j'y suis encore, tout déglingué. Mais je n'ai aucun regret. MERCI MAÎTRE FRANCO VOTRE MUSIQUE M'A PERMIS DE TENIR DANS LA SOLUTUDE, LES NUITS FROIDES DE L'AUTOMNE, MAIS AUSSI SURTOUT LES NUITS FROIDES DE L'HIVER. REPOSEZ EN PAIX VOUS TOUS !
Le Monument Vivant A Travers Cette Chanson *Georgette* Bravo L' Artiste ✨🎸!!! Façon mon père aime beaucoup cette chanson adorable Juin - Juillet - Août 2012 Septembre - Décembre 2012 Février - Mars 2013
This music reminds me of my high school days in S2 second year in high school. Iddi Amin had just taken over Uganda 🇺🇬 and people were going through a lot of challenges. Long live Nabumali High .
Yeah, 1971-72... I recall echoes of this song from distant radios. Its melancholic tune must have appealed to my melancholic mood each time I heard it... traveling in the hot sun, barefoot on those dusty roads ... Now I learn the musician is advising a young lady, Georgette...
Just reminds me of the days we would go down to Mombasa for school holidays in the early 80's to my uncles place in Likoni flats. The sure way to know that he has woken up was this song. R.I.P. uncle Richard.
Though am 21,where most of my colleagues wonder with the type of music i listen to,i have a untold instinct that will always pull me to listen to rumba music,especially tpok's masterpieces.I love this music and on a weekly basis i always have my best hit:this week's choice is lukika.
Bien que je sois jeune, où la plupart de mes collègues se demandent avec le type de musique que j'écoute, j'ai un instinct incalculable qui me tirera toujours pour écouter de la musique de rumba, surtout des chefs-d'œuvre de tpok.J'aime cette musique et sur une base hebdomadaire je toujours Avoir mon meilleur succès
Franco was made only one gene who soared the highest in the rhumba music in his tender minor age. When monuments of honour to musicians who made a mark in the industry will be built, franco's will stand the tallest of all. He lives through his music, which reflects and resonates properly with the current life. #thegrandmaitre
Bolingo ezalaka na tango= Love has got its time/ there's time for love Nalingaka kolakisa bolingo te= I don't want to show you love Ngai naboyi= I don't want Limbisa nga- Forgive me
Oh Luambo Luanzo Makiadi, to me that's when I know that am taking about him, this is my all time song especially in the evenings, rest in peace Franco.😞
Dieu avait donné aux congolais l'or, le diamant, Franco, Nico et rochereau. Nous sommes fiers de vous. Merci pour tout. Vous nous etes plus chers que toutes les richesses de ce monde
This was a real hit in the seventies brings good memories once again thanks for posting them. My collection has so much scratches it will take me time to restore them.
Stunning to date, 🌹. The flavor is still juicy. The beats and narratives give us the impetus of life continuity. May their lives rest in perpetual peace. Dr. Ogeto International 9:13
Time was then and now, it looks like it was then. The greatest Congolese Rhumba maestro TP Ok JAZZ. Rest in an Everlasting Perfect Peace. You embedded your name in the Congolese Rhumba Music Hall Of Fame. Rest on, until we meet on the resurrection morning to part no more.
It reminds me of 1972 in Mbale Uganda and leaving with my late parents in Railway Quarters there. I was in primary five at Aga Khan Primary School Mbale. The nostalgia of my friends Michael Buko, James Peter ( nephew of the late Oboth Ofumbi who was murdered by the Buffoon Idi Amin Dada, rest in peace).
This song georgette scores 98% according to my grading. Those vocals worked very crucial part in making the song my favorite to date. where will musicians of this kind come from to wear shoes of the fallen maestros. Congo provides the kind of music i will always yearn to listen to. When i dies those who know me should carry with them this song and persuade the burial master of ceremony to play the song to appease my spirit.
I recall playing the 45 rpm disk on our record-player repeatedly in 1972. Then I did not know what it was saying. Since it was posted here, I have learned what Franco was saying to Little Georgette, you know that I love you,...
Muziki ni wa sikunyingi ,ila uko hai,na nawakumbuka wengi mno wa wakati,nilikuwa mbichi mno,10yrs only,nakumbuka anko p.dindili dar,Mzee kekere dar,kaka mwenkubi kabuku,shem mganga mwasimba masatu,na masongi hale
Aboubacar, as always, thank you. There was a version of Georgette in which Franco uses non-words, or what you could say invented language to sing the entire song. It came later after this version, I wonder whether you have ever heard that version or if someone has it. Thank you. Opiyo Oloya
the arrangement in this song is just so super. franco was not the best vocalist but when it come to arrangement and composition he his still Le grand maitre.
This masterpiece, in 1976 reminds me of my first Love, Pamela Anyango Dolla, nyar Chula. Those days, we ate life with a large spoon. So help me God! Listen quietly to the lyrics.

Dis-nous GEORGETTE ! Comment as-tu fait pour inspirer FRANCO à ce point ? Le chant polyphonique avec YOULOU d'un côté et de l'autre, un solo de guitare chaud et enivrant.
I have records dating from 1970 onwards but the condition of neglect made some of them impossible to play but I had managed to record some of them on tapes. I will make arrangements to post you some oldies but you seem to have every song .
This song is Georgette, even Franco keeps repeating the name Georgette. Savon ya sika Astral was about a beauty soap known as Astral and it was a skin bleach those days!
Does not sound like it was 1971 because of the splendid arrangement of everything in this track. Grand Maître, Uncle Yorgho, De mi Amor, Franco Luambo Makiadi ya Fuala's guitar was so dominating and just sweet. The back up vocals were super. this was a head of that time.
I, too, have been looking for this piece for a number of years. Thanks AboubacarSiddick for posting it. I play it every day. Does anybody know that piece which sings about Sabuni ya Astral... I do not know whether those are the actual words i used to hear

I was. 14yrs. he was a family. best singer
I just love the unique arrangement, voices wow. Will never tire listening to this song.
what a hit; although gone forever, franco was simply a musician out of this world. May his soul rest in peace.
the first time i listen to this version of Georgette. pure pleasure.
This song gives me very vivid memories while growing up in the village as a young boy. It would play on my late father's NEC radio courtesy of Voice of Kenya Kiswahili service. How I wish the clock could rewind! Sweet memories and soothing music in my 50s. RIP Franco and RIP my dad Nicodemus Oinga.

This music reminds me of my high school days in S2 second year in high school. Iddi Amin had just taken over Uganda 🇺🇬 and people were going through a lot of challenges. Long live Nabumali High .
It reminds me of my late friend, Crispin Mbai, who had brought his copy to school so that we would have good time.

Am way much younger than you but I listen to Franco everyday. Real music
Écouter moi ça! La musique que nous porte Bonheur Et Allégresse
Youlou Mabiala with the Grand Master himself on the vocals, what else can one say. Tpok Jazz makes my day any time.
The Grand Maestro will live forever in our hearts. TPOK Jazz, indeed this was "The Congo Colossus ".
Luambo really did "Georgette" in a very special way..This hit is a great memory to me!

From nothing to a veey entertainingly unforgettable piece of music! Grand Maitre you really a gifted musician!

I very much like this song gone are the days we played to much on our friend Franco oh God he is gone who would tune us to his songs again?
Aboubacar you have reminded me of my cousin.he loved this one
Unique voice prince youlou mabiala can be heard here
It reminds me of 1972 in Mbale Uganda and leaving with my late parents in Railway Quarters there. I was in primary five at Aga Khan Primary School Mbale. The nostalgia of my friends Michael Buko, James Peter ( nephew of the late Oboth Ofumbi who was murdered by the Buffoon Idi Amin Dada, rest in peace).
You are a dynasty. 1972 in Aga Khan Primary!

Quand on prête bien l'oreille Franco a été un précurseur du mouvement rap à cette époque là
