4.0 out of 5 stars Nice 60's collection, July 10, 2001

This CD contains a nice collection of France Galle's songs of the 60's. I chose it because it has some of my favorite oldies including "Laisse tomber les filles", "N'ecoute pas les idoles", and "Nous ne sommes pas des anges". But with 23 songs on one CD, it is apt to include some so-so songs, too. I enjoy France Galle's uniquely girlish delicate voice and her happy youthful style that is quite melodious.

4.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD SAMPLE OF HER EARLY DAYS, October 17, 2000

By 

ALAIN ROBERT (ST-HUBERT,QUEBEC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: France Gall - Poupee de Son (Audio CD)

Being a fan of FRANCE GALL,i found out that almost all she recorded between 1962 and 1968 with a few exceptions is quite good, even if FRANCE herself has not fond memories of that time.It is quite obvious today that FRANCE GALL was the first of the so called LOLITA type of singer.This collection does a good job .All the hits are there including SACREE CHARLEMAGNE (her least favorite),POUPEE DE CIRE,POUPEE DE SON and my favorite LES SUCETTES with a double meaning lyric to match.All of FRANCE GALL 's early recordings have been reunited on a 4 cd collection.Thank God!There is only one FRANCE GALL, beware of imitators.

5.0 out of 5 stars charm, June 21, 2001

Actually, I have the 4-CD box set of which this is a selection. That's how much I like this stuff. Yeah, there are some real duds (eg "Sacre Charlemagne"), but they are easily redeemed by the rest. Creative, inventive 60's pop, perfect arrangements, and delivered in that little girl voice that some people just hate. Her pitch is a little off (noticeable because she uses no vibrato), but her sense of rhythm is impeccable. If this is 'ye-ye' music --and that's very debatable-- then it's time to rehabilitate that label. Okay, the Gainsbourg tunes are among the best, but what a shame not to look any further! (Interesting: not a single cover version here, in an era dominated by adaptations of the Anglo-American top ten.)
