Very little info about Pop Concerto Orchestra apart from the fact that it is a French group formed in 1968 by Olivier Toussaint and Paul de Senneville.
Group which will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s for the title "Eden is a magic world", title dating from 1976 but which will know its hour of glory in 1982 thanks to the Telefunken commercial.
As such alone, he deserved this article.
