THE TOP 100
#52 CAN YOU FEEL IT
JEAN-ROCH
(2003)
Writers: Jean-Roch Pedri; S DO ; FB Cool & Bill Conti
Jean-Roch Pedri was born in Toulon, France in 1966. Growing up, his ambition was to play football (soccer). His family obligations with its restaurant business prevented the youngster from fulfilling his dream. Years later, he scored his breakthrough with "Can You Feel It", the official French anthem for Euro 2004, held that year in Portugal.
The DJ/ producer works under the shortened name of Jean-Roch. "Can You Feel It" was built around a Bill Conti instrumental entitled "The Last Bell" from the 1976 'Rocky' movie's soundtrack album. Jean-Roch teamed up with fellow French R&B / House producer - songwriters Denis Clavaud (who works under the name S DO) and Fabien Benhamou (aka FB Cool) to write the upbeat track. The latter also contributed keyboards and co-produced "Can You Feel it" with Jean-Roch. Geraldine Delacroix sang the lead vocal.
"Can You Feel It" reached #5 on the French chart and peaked at #12 in Belgium. Along with his musical pursuits, Jean-Roch has since opened nightclubs in Paris and other European locations. He returned his focus to music in 2010, with the Top 10 hit single "My Love Is Over" and his 1st solo album 'Music Saved My Life'. He has collaborated with Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Pitbull and Kat DeLuna.

This
is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I
cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks.
Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have
universal appeal.
They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal
choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a
better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A
new song from the remaining Top 100 is added each weekday, while another 2 are also
included from positions 1501-2000 daily. Check back here every 12 hours
for
an update of the 2000.
