Trois petits tours - Françoise Hardy
Françoise Madeleine Hardy; 17 January 1944 - 11 June 2024 was a French singer-songwriter and actress. Mainly known for singing melancholic sentimental ballads, Hardy rose to prominence in the early 1960s as a leading figure of the yé-yé wave. In addition to her native French, she also sang in English, Italian, and German. Her career spanned more than fifty years with over thirty studio albums released.
Born and raised in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, Hardy made her musical debut in 1962 on French label Disques Vogue and found immediate success through the song "Tous les garçons et les filles". Drifting away from her early rock and roll influences, she began to record in London in 1964, which allowed her to broaden her sound with albums such as Mon amie la rose, L'amitié, La maison où j'ai grandi and Ma jeunesse fout le camp.... In the late 1960s and early 1970s, she released Comment te dire adieu, La question and Message personnel, to further establish her artistry. In this period, she worked with songwriters such as Serge Gainsbourg, Patrick Modiano, Michel Berger, and Catherine Lara. Between 1977 and 1988, she worked with producer Gabriel Yared with the albums Star, Musique saoûle, Gin Tonic and À suivre. Her 1988 record Décalages was widely publicized as Hardy's final album, although she returned eight years later with Le danger, which completely reinvented her sound to a harsher alternative rock. Her following albums of the 2000s-Clair-obscur, Tant de belles choses and (Parenthèses...)-saw a return to her mellow style. In the 2010s, Hardy released her last three albums: La pluie sans parapluie, L'amour fou, and Personne d'autre.
In addition to music, Hardy landed roles as a supporting actress in the films Château en Suède, Une balle au cœur and the American production Grand Prix. She became a muse for fashion designers such as André Courrèges, Yves Saint Laurent, and Paco Rabanne, and collaborated with photographer Jean-Marie Périer. Hardy also developed a career as an astrologer, having written extensively on the subject from the 1970s onwards. In addition, she worked as a writer of both fiction and non-fiction books from the 2000s. Her autobiography Le désespoir des singes... et autres bagatelles was a best-seller in France.
As a public figure, Hardy was known for her shyness, disenchantment with celebrity life and self-deprecatory attitude, attributed to her lifelong struggles with anxiety and insecurity. She was married to fellow French singer-songwriter Jacques Dutronc in 1981 until her death, and their only son, Thomas, is also a musician. In 2021, Hardy announced that her health had worsened and that she would not be able to sing again owing to the effects of cancer therapy. She died of cancer in Paris in 2024.
Hardy remains one of the best-selling singers in French history, and continues to be regarded as an iconic and influential figure in both French pop and fashion. In 2006, she was awarded the Grande médaille de la chanson française, an honorary award given by the Académie française, in recognition of her career in music.

This comes from Pearlie May's first Broadway show St Louis Woman in 1946, based on the novel God Sent Sunday by Arne Bontemps, the songs were written by Harold Arlen and Johnny mercer and were by most accounts the major redeeming virtue of the musical itself. Pearl played the character of Butterfly and the Nicholas Brothers had signed on as well. Missing was Lena Horne who was offended by the way her character was drawn, as were protesting members of the NAACP outside the entrance. Poet Countee Cullen wrote the book for the show, but he died before he could trim it down post tryouts. It limped along for 115 shows, but Bailey was the real star to come out of it.
Thank you very much for this information. Appreciated a lot.

Paramount sent me here. I love 💓
I'm still wondering why this version is not in Spotify!! She's the best. All others made it half way, she's on the top with this masterpiece! As we say in Argentina: IMPECABLE!
It’s on the de lovely soundtrack
It's too polished. Sounds like soundtrack for waiting rooms. Try the version in 'Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook'.
I cannot get tired to listen to these wonderful melodies! They recall me my childhood and my youth: this is real music to me.
This is very relaxing
Nobody had Dino’s cool and class!
SHE'S THE BEST. GIVES ME THE CHILLS. I SING WITH ALL MY HEART THIS VERSION. 🥂😭❤️
O que fazer qdo o coração quebra as correntes da lógica, do empenho de um antigo amor,e insiste " numa aventura mortal para alma ? "
Nice bottom. (Notes😉)
Iconic, beautiful Americans!
you put the power in this song well done.
Thank you so much Howard.
Don't flatter yourself Frank
Amooo
Oh, what a wonderful beautiful voice, don't you agree?
Nice video, very calming
Thank you very much.
Does this vocal song feature in the movie ""Hands Across the Table (1935)""? i only found the instrumental version of this in the opening credits in the blu-ray. Can somebody confirm
Sorry, I don't know that. It is possible that there was only an instrumental theme in the movie, and then it was made into a song recorded by various performers. Best wishes.
It is also possible that the song was the inspiration for the movie, as it was shot a year later.
Great video by jerzyc21. Hip jazz arrangement. Beautiful girl, with a nice vocal sound, but doesn't anybody else hear that amazingly horrible lisp she has with her "R"s. "Love that's FWESH and still unspoiled...". I mean, all I can think of is Life of Brian, "Welease Woderick!" That poor girl. Who made her do that song?!
Thank you for comment. Even if you right ... I couldn't care less, because her interpretation is really great.
@@jerzyc21 I apologize. I shouldn't pick on something you love. I stepped over the line. Peace to you.
@@joemag3 I am not offended, you can have your opinion. This is one of the best recordings of this song - read the other comments. Other great interpretations include Eartha Kitt, but only a recording from the album "Beautiful but Bad" or Pearl Bailey. Besides, there are other famous singers who have even bigger problems with pronunciation, like Minnelli, who just lisps in my opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that I like her. Best wishes to you.
Never heard this singer before but she does a great job with this song which is hard to sing - sounds great to me.
who's that pianist? Amazing!
I am sorry but I don't know. Only I know that it was filmed in the Cafe De Paris in London's Leicester Square in 2003.
Who's that on tenor sax?
I am sorry. No idea. I know only that it was filmed in the Cafe De Paris in London's Leicester Square in 2003.
this is more then nice,this is top ofthe top !!!!!
EXCELLENT ⚘FABOULOUS🌹 AWESOME ⚘🌼🌻🥀🌸💐🏵
Thank you very much Liz.
"...was pretty." ~ Ms. Oljose was Chloe
Cole Porter was a genius...simple...great lyrics...rythm...horny atmosphere... Imagination...inspiring music... Life is the core theme...
Thank you Gilberto for a very pertinent comment.
@@jerzyc21 Thank You for your kindness...Best Regards and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year...
@@gilbertorosales5317 Thank you so much and I wish you as well very happy and successful New Year.
wow!

Just beautiful! Love this version!
I wish I could see her perform! Does she have any videos of her singing live, or have any upcoming shows??
I am sorry, but I have no idea. She own a night club, but I don't remember where.
@@jerzyc21 I knew her when she was just 19. She was one of the most kind, elegant & beautiful women I have ever met. We briefly dated, but I was on tour & had to leave. She left an impression on me that lasted a lifetime. She owned a club in Naples Florida, but it's gone now.
@@NowWhatRTheyUp2 Thank you for news. It is CD's release about 2004. New Carla Valenti Live in London music 2 CD album Jazz Band Music Song Velenti, perhaps available on Amazon or EBay. This is about all I know.
Beautiful song, I saw the Pet Shop Boys perform this live
I'm missing my wife....
I'm very sorry.

They don't em like that anymore! Thank God for UA-cam!

Wow, nice version of this song. The scene is the famous tango in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (1921)
Thank you very much. I like this song too. Perhaps you right about the scene. I don't remember this at the moment. Thanks.
2020 and I’m still here!
