I thought this should be brought back to Page 1, as there are so many wonderful songs in languages other than English.

Earlier this evening, I happened across songs recorded by a surprising artist: Anthony (Tony) Perkins. Among them are a number of songs that fit in this category:

Anthony Perkins sings Quand Tu Dors Pres De Moi - YouTube


Anthony Perkins sings On Ne Meurt Pas Pour Ca - YouTube


Anthony Perkins canta "Il n'y a plus d'après", 1963 - YouTube

No. All the best pop, rock, metal, new wave and so on musicians sing in English.

^^^ I do not agree at all! There is so much great music out there, and many times, foreign-language songs have been covered by English-speakers and most people never know it. Also, some record English songs, which can sound even better in French, Italian, etc.
