Title: Franco on bike

The Grand Maitre, with no fancy car but only a simple bike. Looks so surprising compared to the present:

Thank you for sharing this photo but I want to explain. This was when Franco was not a big name yet. This had to be in late 1950s to early 1960s period when Franco was setting his foot as leader of OK Jazz. At this period, the number one artist of Congo was Grand Kalle.
