    • Trivia
      He was betrayed by his businessman/accountant Bernard Seneau, who stole from him for two years. In 1973, Seneau disappeared with a real fortune in his pockets and Polnareff learned about his treachery when the French taxes asked him for 1,000,000 francs! Completely ruined, Polnareff could not pay and had to leave France for the USA. Finally, in 1978, his honesty was recognized, but he still had to pay what he owed. So for his next two records, "Bulles" and "Incognito", every dime he earned was given to taxes...
