"Hello friends! Ah well, here's another friend who's gone! Herbert Leonard, I have memories, I have a lot of memories with Herbert the first time I met him that I spoke with him a little...
— Patrick Sébastien
I wasn't in this profession at all yet, I went to see him sing at the time, there was a song that I invite you to listen to again called "something in me hold my heart". This song was magnificent! And then after, we crossed paths in the profession by chance on gala tours and then he came a lot to my shows with a lot of humor, I made him do lots of things, I dressed him up as Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan even as Stéphanie de Monaco! And then of course, he came a lot with the orchestra, in the happy years. So I chose for you today a medley where he is in great shape, he is radiant, he is dynamic and then of course this magnificent voice! And then this tenderness, he is a being that I appreciate enormously... So I kiss his friends, his family and offer you this medley where he is at the top of his form"
