He began his career in the late 1950s, with the group Les Chaussettes Noires (The Black Socks), taking his name from the American expatriate tough-guy actor Eddie Constantine (later the star of Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville). The band performed at the Parisian nightclub Le Golf Drouot before signing to Barclay Records and finding almost instant success; in 1961 it sold two million records.

Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Bob Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London.

Oh baby, quand je t'ai rencontrée
Oh baby, tu ne parlais qu'anglais

Je ne comprends pas ce que tu me dis là

Overall Meaning

The French song "Everything All Right" by Eddy Mitchell focuses on a conversation between the singer and his English-speaking lover. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about when they first met, and how she could only speak English, saying repeatedly, "Everything's all right." However, the singer does not understand her and asks her to speak politely.

Later in the song, the singer describes how he was embarrassed when he first kissed her because she repeated the same phrase, "Everything's all right." He finds it frustrating that he cannot understand her, and at times he tells her to be quiet and just say that everything is fine. The song ends with a chorus of "oh hi" repeated several times.

The song is about the communication gap between two people who speak different languages. The repetition of "everything's all right" is a way for the woman to reassure the singer that things are going well. However, because of the language barrier, he is unable to fully understand her, leading to confusion and frustration.
