He was a musician when he recovered. By astonished with his will, his family opened a small record shop for him. But his purpose was to sing and compose, not to sell. 
In 1957, he found himself again on the way to Paris. Then, he was more assertive because he would sing. Despite some dissapointing meetings with the producers, he didn't give up.
