5.0 out of 5 stars The hippest 1960s brunette around - accept no imitations!, October 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Yeh Yeh Girl From Paris (Audio CD)

It is difficult to review this CD without becoming a revolting sycophant, but I will try. Some of the most uplifting songs in the French language are included on this CD - most notably Tous les garcons et les filles. It is a bit depressing to hear the English version of this beautiful song, as the original is much more poetic. The best way to appreciate this song is with a thorough knowledge of French, or, failing that, a French dictionary.

One of the most stunning features of this CD is the beautiful photograph of Francoise that has been selected for the cover. This CD comes highly recommended by me and all of those that I have played it for (everybody that I know - over the phone and otherwise).

You will fall in love with Francoise. A summer classic, despite the fact that she is pictured with an umbrella on the cover.

When I was 13, I had a lot of fun looking through my dad's old records until I accidently broke his needle. He vowed to never buy one again. But at least till that tragic moment, I found a few 60's French pop singers. I was so disappointed because of the lack of cds that are not available especially of Mirelle Mathieu's 60's stuff. I wish that "Olympia" can be in print.
Well, at least "Yeh-Yeh Girl from Paris" is. The good thing about Francoise's music is that you don't need to know French to like it. Her music is catchy enough to not make it an issue.

I had never heard of Francoise Hardy--she was recommended by another Amazon reviewer when I was shopping for Serge Gainsbourg. All I can say is...check this out. In the couple of years I've now owned this CD (yes, I'm a bit behind in my reviews but that actually works in your favor in this case) I have enjoyed it regularly...especially on bright Sunday mornings as I sit on the deck drinking "Pastis." Equally good in the mix for dinner parties, too. Highly listenable. Classic. Highly recommended.
