During one in his concerts on Sunset Boulevard with L.A, French buys his disc and takes along it in its luggage. This album éponyme passer by of hands in hands, is found in those of a Parisian DJ which sets ablaze the crowd of its club, with Hippy hippy shake . Not managing to join the group, it makes listen to the album at Sony which does not take a long time to sign Big Soul. And here is how Big Soul makes an entry crashing to pieces in France, unchaining a public which jumps everywhere while discovering this particular style of Californian rock'n'roll.
