Johnny and Mary (original) (raw)
Johnny and Mary est une chanson de l'auteur-compositeur et interprète britannique Robert Palmer parue en single en 1980 chez Island Records. Douzième single de l'artiste et premier extrait de l'album Clues, sorti la même année, Johnny and Mary rencontre un accueil modéré du public au Royaume-Uni et n'est pas classé au Billboard Hot 100 aux États-Unis. Toutefois, c'est en Europe que la chanson marche le mieux dans les charts, atteignant le top 10 de certains pays, dont la France, où le single rencontre un énorme succès commercial en termes de ventes – il sera certifié disque d'or – et sera utilisé par la suite comme thème pour les publicités de Renault.

| dbo:abstract | «Johnny and Mary» es una canción del cantante británico de rock Robert Palmer, publicada como sencillo en 1980 por Island Records e incluida como la tercera pista de su sexto álbum de estudio, Clues (1980). Fue escrita y producida por Palmer y, de acuerdo con el sitio Allmusic, es una «balada sintetizada» cuya letra trata sobre una pareja romántica condenada al fracaso. Con un sonido que mezcla el new wave y el synth pop, Palmer la definió como «música marcial tocada con mucha precisión», en donde experimentó con prototipos de secuenciadores. La canción tuvo un rendimiento comercial positivo, sobre todo en las listas musicales de Europa continental. En España llegó hasta el primer lugar de Los 40 Principales y se situó entre los diez más vendidos en Alemania, Austria, Bélgica, Italia, Suiza y Francia. En este último país logró el puesto dos y antes de finalizar el año el organismo certificador local le otorgó un disco de oro por vender más de 500 000 copias. El éxito fue tal en Francia, que por más de diez años se usó en las campañas publicitarias de Renault. Con el pasar de los años, varios artistas la han versionado e incluso la han adaptado a otros idiomas. (es) "Johnny and Mary" is a song written and originally performed by Robert Palmer. Palmer's version was recorded in 1980 at Compass Point Studios, New Providence, in the Bahamas. The song was featured on Palmer's album Clues (1980). "Johnny and Mary" went to No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart, and was a top 40 hit in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and several European countries. In Germany, it peaked at No. 7 on the singles chart and spent a total of 23 weeks in the top 20. In Spain, it peaked at No. 1 on the Spanish singles chart (AFYVE). Though the single did not chart in the US Hot 100, it did reach No. 18 on Billboard's Club Play Singles chart. "Johnny and Mary" was used as the signature tune in advertisements promoting Renault cars throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Early adverts used Palmer's original version, while a range of special recordings in different styles were produced during the 1990s, most famously an acoustic interpretation by Martin Taylor, which he released on his album Spirit of Django. Taylor recorded alternate versions for Renault; the last being in 1998 for the launch of the all-new Renault Clio. In 2021, Swedish singer recorded a new version of the song, used again by Renault in TV ads to launch its latest version of model Clio.
