This unique 64-track, 2CD set investigates the evolution of French Y-Y Music from early R&R, via Le Twist, into an entirely indigenous musical style dominated almost entirely by Girl singers, which exploded in France in 1961 and 62, going on to peak popularity during the mid-to-late 60s.
The genre was led by the iconic Franoise Hardy (who sings the title track) and Sylvie Vartan, followed closely by Sheila, Cris Carol, Glou, and Gillian Hills, each of whom are represented on this set via multiple tracks.
Theyre joined by other actresses/singers who enjoyed popularity and success in France, notably well-known names like Brigitte Bardot, Petula Clark, Dalida, Jeanne Moreau and Juliette Grco, and also including Louise Cordet, Nancy Holloway, Magali Nol, Nicole Paquin, Patricia Carli, Annie Cordy, Marie Lafort, Jacqueline Danno, Isabelle Aubret, and more.
Many of these lesser-known sides are almost impossible to find elsewhere on CD.
Thank you.
