Dutch singer born May 4, 1944, Wouter Otto Levenbach alias Dave, met success in France in the 70s, chaining several successes such as Vanina or Du Côté chez Swann. Here he evokes various subjects: his career, his accent, his apprehension of death…
Dave explains the origin of his stage name which comes from a character in the bible: David. He then "Americanized" it as it was customary to do at the time turning "David" into "Dave Rich" then just "Dave".
DAVE speaks about his absence in the media for several years. The singer explains that he never stopped working, performing hundreds of concerts a year. For him, all the popular singers go through this phase of "disappearance".
Dave answers a question from Philippe ADLER about his Dutch accent. He says he hopes to lose him quickly, "I don’t like it so much that you see right away that I’m a stranger". He adds that he does not want to be considered a Dutchman.
Dave evokes his "high-perched" voice. He admits he doesn’t need to maintain it thanks to the many concerts he gives each year. He evokes the song "Vanina", "vocally difficult" that he sings at the end of every concert when his voice is well "heated".
