On the outside - Roch Voisine

Roch Voisine was born as Joseph Armand Roch Voisine in Edmundston, New Brunswick (Canada) on March 26, 1963. He aspired to be a professional ice hockey player until he was severely injured playing baseball in 1981. (Further proof that sports are unhealthy for you.)

His musical breakthrough came with his 1989 album Hélène which sold three million copies and became a major hit not only in Quebec but also in France, Belgium and Switzerland.His self-titled album from 1990 featured this single, 'On the outside'. It became a hit in the Netherlands - his only one to date - peaking at number 21.
