Robert Charlebois – Ordinaire

"Ordinaire" is a particularly Québecois take on the-travails-of-a-rock-star song, singing as it does about being just an ordinary guy. In 1970, Robert Charlebois won the Sopot International Song Festival with this song.

I have ten sides of Charlebois music, two of which feature this song; however, to be honest, "Ordinaire" has never stood out for me – I prefer his rocking, often funny stuff.
