An episode of BBC Radio 4’s Soul Music.
Ne Me Quitte Pas is a song about begging someone not to go; of promising the world to them, if they'll only stay. From Haiti to New York, Provence to Glasgow... in versions by Nina Simone and Dusty Springfield... we hear stories of what Jacques Brel's song has meant to people around the world.
With contributions from France Brel, Johane Celestin, Alastair Campbell, Brendan McGeever, Peter Hawkins and Malaika Kegode.
