Question 'CADILLAC MAN' from 1991....A jovi original??

Greetings dudes & dudettes!

For those h-u-g-e Jovi fans,who'd know about unreleased tracks and such,I have a wee li'l question for you --

Am watching the excellent Live DVD from Osaka in '91 and I think Jon introduces one of the tracks as 'brand new' and for the "bootleggers to get those tapes rolling"-- it's called 'Cadillac Man'. A wonderful track,is it a Jovi original?? Maybe it came out as an obscure B-side somewhere,or,maybe 'twas just played at this show and ne'er resurfaced?

'Go raibh mile maith agat'(Thanking You Kindly) for any info on this rare gem...*

It's an original written for the movie Cadillac Man, but not used in it. They played it live a few times, but have never released a studio version.

It was officially recorded by Johnny Hallyday (French singer) on his album Ca Ne Change Pas in 1991. Quite a good version also

The album is "Ça ne change pas un homme" = "It doesn't change a man".

Johnny Hallyday has got a great voice and he's a nice guy off stage it seems. The rest of him sucks.



He's kind of our Elvis that never died.

Yeah it's a pretty good song, although the live recordings of it aren't great. I was hoping it was going to be on the boxset, or to find a soundboard version or a decent quality demo version.

Johnny is the best And his shows are amazing !!!!


No i know what you mean, true it's different since the Goldman work ... but Johnny is a legend ! and a very nice man (met him several time and in the 60/70's my parents used to go out with him and the band)
After, what David (his son) wrote for him is quite good. Davis is "un amour" too and my son is a huge David fan, it was his first real concert so i have all his cd's at home and i love him too. They are both so nice in "real life".

Anyway i love both versions
