“He liked the side of me that was mad, a bit zany and burlesque… Besides, that couple we made, Boris and I, it must have been funny because he was very tall and I was rather small. And we used to laugh all the time. Because, behind that very serious face of his, a very, very funny man was hiding. He worked very fast. I remember there was one day when we wrote four calypsos in twenty minutes!” Henri SALVADOR, 1965
