60s French Pop & Ye-Ye Love

[Joey Deadcat]

One of my biggest music loves - ye-ye and French pop from the 60s. Love those cute and wonderfully girly pop tunes that came out during that era. France Gall! Francoise Hardy! Sylvie Vartan! Jacqueline Taieb Among other favorites would be Dani, Stella, Claire Dixon, Cleo, Cosette, Liz Brady, Sheila, Zouzou, and girl groups, Les Petites Souris and Les Gams. Lotta great, catchy tunes.

Also dig male artist Johnny Hallyday and the one and only, Serge Gainsbourg.

Now I know of a couple of folks here who dig the sounds of Gainsbourg.

A lot of people also may familiar with April March's English-transalation cover of France Gall's Laisse Tomber Les Filles - Chick Habit.

Who elses digs it all and always feels the urge to groove and shake?

That voice...

Can't say the music does much for me... but I love the Gidget look... reminds of my favorite pic of my MaMa, circa 1967:

Great pic!

Wish more girls were sporting the look;a very tiny minority out there, currently.

I have the same name as a French singer. Her name is Axelle Red. It's funny. My name is Axelle Black and I have black hair and her name is Axelle Red and she has red hair. XD
