“Today, we no longer have the right / Neither to be hungry, nor to be cold..” Today everyone knows the words of the song written and composed by Jean-Jacques Goldman for Restos du coeur. The association has just launched its fortieth campaign. It was in September 1985 that Coluche had the idea of launching a project to help the most deprived, while poverty was exploding in the country.

To pay tribute to him and retrace the history of the public utility association, France 2 broadcast this Tuesday, November 19 Restos du Coeur, 40 years of solidarity in France. Several personalities agreed to testify to tell the story of the creation of the Restaurants.
Jean-Jacques Goldman tells how Coluche approached him to write the anthem of Restos
Extremely rare in the media, Jean-Jacques Goldman, who was a long-time pillar of the Enfoirés team before bowing out in 2016, agreed to testify for this documentary. The singer notably revealed how Coluche had approached him to ask him to write the anthem of Restos du coeur, today totally inseparable from the association. Maryse Gildas stressed that the comedian had asked her “who made hits” at that time. When the singer's name was mentioned, he asked to be called. “He didn’t know him more than that,” she pointed out. “I had met him, but I can't say that I knew him. Besides, I don't know if I ever knew him. Coluche, when he arrives in a dressing room, when he speaks, he has a power of conviction, of training. He was a leader! remembered the interpreter of Since you are leaving.
Coluche gave a superb gift to Jean-Jacques Goldman to thank him
Jean-Jacques Goldman explained how Coluche thanked him for his song. “One day he called me. 'Are you at home?' Because he was from Montrouge too. I said 'well yes'. He says to me 'I'm coming'. Half an hour later he is there with a guitar bag. 'Hey, this is a gift to thank you for the Restos song.' It was an old Gretsch; a great guitar. Afterwards I took him home.” he said. “Unfortunately, a month later, he crashed”noted the saddened singer.
