Sinclar is famous for popularizing the "french touch" of house music, with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "Feel For You", a tribute to french musician Cerrone, from his second album Champs Elysées, hit #9 in the UK Top 40. On track "Darlin'", he worked with vocalist James "D-Train" Williams.
Sinclar has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the Africanism project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of latin, jazz, african and tribal flavors. In 2005 he scored a hit with his single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40. The followup hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on August 22, 2006.
The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove is nominated for a Grammy 2007 in the category "Remixed Recording". Also, "World Hold on" was chosen by Billboard Magazine as the number one Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera.
The fourth single of the album 'Western Dream' called 'Tennessee' was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released.
That album was Soundz of Freedom. It came out in May 2007.
His latest album is Born In 69, released 2 years after the last album, May 2009. The first single of the album was LaLa Song, together with Sugarhill Gang

Bob Sinclar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain.
La de da de de, la de da de da.
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh.
History has turned the page, uh huh.
The miniskirt's the current thing, uh huh.
Tennybopper si our newborn king, uh huh.
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.

Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh.
And men still keep on marching off to war.
Electrically they keep a baseball score.
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain.
La de da de de, la de da de da.
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss.
The cars keep going faster all the time.
Bums still cry 'Hey buddy, have you got a dime?'
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain.
La de da de de, la de da de da.
“The Beat Goes On” by Bob Sinclar is a song that explores the changes over time through social events and various generations. It is an upbeat track that largely places emphasis on the never-ending rhythm that pulsates through generations, as symbolized by the persistent drums that keep beating.
The musician draws our attention to the evolution of society and culture by relaying various events that marked distinct generations. For instance, Bob refers to the Charleston dance that was once the “rage” and how it has been overtaken by the contemporary miniskirts. It also touches on how the grocery store or supermart has replaced the old-fashioned grocery shop, and how young girls still break their hearts, as men march off to war. Bob further references how technology has evolved, with people now using an electronic scorecard to keep tabs on baseball games.
The chorus, “And the beat goes on, the beat goes on” is a call that highlights the era's timeless rhythm, which keeps life moving forward regardless of the changes we experience. Through the lyrics, the song conveys a message of hope and resilience- that irrespective of the change that life brings, the beat always goes on.

Lyrics
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong
With the sound
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me
I'm the one
Got to make the connection
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong
With the sound
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me
I'm the one
Got to make the connection
Move with the times
Realize
It's a natural progressive
Come once again
Feel the pulse
Share the love
One to one
We can now tell the love
Without fear the way it's clean
Because we know that the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong
With the sound
We can sing it forever
Love lost and found
Like the beat
Goes on anything acting
Now is the time to relate
Take some positive action
Hey, look at me
I'm the one
Got to make the connection
And we can grew up
Where we start
And pick the rhythm in our hearts
We celebrate the changes
'Cause every day (the beat goes on)
We can't regenerate the song
And let the evolution takes us to the places
That we've never been before
Oh
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong
With the sound
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me
I'm the one
Got to make the connection
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong
With the sound
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me
I'm the one
Got to make the connection
