Jean Helfer: "This video is from France. It is Ring Parade, a weekly show by Guy Lux on Antenne 2. I was there with Billy and Bobby. Bobby had huge trouble with the color of his jacket. The blue screen on the back ground used in the seventies for the incrustations made Bobby appear without his body. We spent a lot of time in the accessories room to find a perfect jacket. The show was in 1975."
