And you sip your Napoleon brandy

I should be asleep right now but I just had to point out

PARIS (Reuters) — French crooner Sacha Distel, whose seductive good looks won him legions of female fans around the world, died Thursday, his record company said. He was 71.

Distel died at a family home near St. Tropez in the south of France after having been ill for some time. A private funeral is expected Saturday in the Paris region.

Although the cause of death was not immediately known, the singer was hit by thyroid cancer in 1970 and skin cancer a decade later.

His version of "The Sunshine of My Life" with Brigitte Bardot is forever a mixtape favorite. Holy moly, what a suave dude. Also, R.I.P. Jerry Goldsmith! The Omen, man, The Omen.

I really need to get some sleep.
