[News] Charles Aznavour

[Gwylan]

So is the brilliant Francoise Hardy.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what Tom was on about there,

Mireille Mathieu is also still alive, as is Juliette Greco. Vanessa Paradis is still going strong and there's that one who's always getting her kit off - Mylene Farmer.

And I really like Christine and the Queens right now (mais elle chante en anglais)

I think you chose the wrong emoji.

Was just about to post France Gall is still alive too but thought I'd do a quick google check before I did. Sad to discover she died in January of this year. That passed me by. So a belated RIP France Gall. Always had a soft spot for France Gall. She was the inspirartion for the song "My Way" , originally a French song written by Claude Francois entitled "Comme d'Habitude".

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So sad. All four French pop stars now dead. RIP

There are others, you realise......

Charles Asnovoice is no more.
Paix à son âme.

Au contraire, I think he very much adavoice. Very French I'll grant you, but maybe, just maybe, that was because he was indeed . . . French.

It was a joke that went back as far as my junior school days, and I am now retired! Just shows how long he stood the test of time.

Me too.
They played this at my Uncle's funeral ( someone who lived life to the full ) and it couldn't have been more appropriate. Beautiful, evocative song.......one of my all time favourites.

Can’t be many people who have been an ambassador for two different countries at the same time.

RIP

Yes indeed, I was forgetting that he was born in Armenia. Not only a talented singer of course, but songwriter, actor, and something of a politician too.

R.I.P.

He was born in Paris but his mother was Armenian (his father was Georgian)

 

[attila]

Robina and I had tickets to see him in Paris in November.
We'll still be going to Paris....
94 and on stage till the end.
Bien joue mon vieux.

My apologies, partly of Armenian descent anyway.

Thank God for that..................................I was distraught for a moment at the that thought Vanessa Paradis had gone and NSC had missed it and failed to report it in their ''Obituaries Column''
