Editing Mouscron (section)

== The musical period ==
From 1960 to 1980, the city experienced a vibrant period in the music industry.

The studio of Marcel De Keukeleire and Jean Van Loo produced famous European artists like Chocolat's (Brasilia Carnaval), [[Patrick Hernandez]] ([[Born to Be Alive (song)|Born to Be Alive]]), Amadeo ([[Moving Like a Superstar|Moving Like A Superstar]]), [[J. J. Lionel|J.J. Lionel]] ([[Chicken Dance|Chicken dance]]) and the Crazy Horse band, which was partly made up of people from Mouscron.

In 1967, [[Jimi Hendrix]] gave his only Belgian concert at the Twenty club. Other artists of the 1960s to have performed in the club include: [[The Animals]], [[Small Faces|The Small Faces]], [[The Kinks]], [[The Yardbirds]], [[Gene Vincent]], [[The Moody Blues]]. The latter stayed in Mouscron for the writing of their album “[[Days of Future Passed]]”.{{fact|date=November 2022}} In 1978, their Song “Top rank suite” alludes to the city's name with the sentence: “They played a good game of football in Mucron”. The Moody Blues were certainly fans of football but they blatantly forgot how to spell the city's name.

Eventually, the beginning of the song “Les Bourgeois” of [[Jacques Brel]], anecdotally mentions the name of “Adrienne du Mont-à-Leux”, who was the owner of a café in the city.{{fact|date=November 2022}}
