French singer Yves Montand scored one of his biggest hits with these lyrics from his song ‘Dans les Plaines du Far West’. The song is about cowboys and indians and comes from a time when all of France adored all of the United States; the early sixties were the highlight of this post war effect. The U.S. had liberated France and pop culture liberated the French from intellectual dominance. France loved westerns, country music and rock ’n’ roll back then. This piece of paper does not contain the handwriting of Yves Montand, but is a piece of genuine fan art, an artefact of real love for the far west.
