A rare great French song from 1972 by Dany Joe

Yesterday I listened to a great rare French song on You Tube called 'LOVE' by Dany Joe from 1972.This song literally fills me with joy and serenity.I used to hear this song on radio on boomfm.com at night when I used to live in Ville Emard on LaCroix street.I never found out who sang that song ,until recently.What a pleasure to hear that song on You Tube!I thought Dany Joe sounded a bit like Dick Rivers in this song.
