The last that I heard, she is still with us and okay.

The loss of her daughter (1997) was very tragic because she was only 19. It is amazing how someone with so much talent can suffer so many hardships.

Even though she became popular many years before I was born, I really enjoy a lot of her work (especially her songs from the 1960s and 1970s). Chantal Goya is another good singer from the 1960s.

One of my current favourites is Emilie Simon.

Well, I am eager to see how the election unfolds. I am hoping for the best for France in this.

Glad to hear that France Gall is well. What a tragic life after her husbands death at 44 and the tragic events that followed.

I have always loved Chantal Goya, as a child, and to this day. Still the greatest songs for kids.

My all time favorites are still Piaf, Montand, Becaud, Trenet and Aznavour. I was so fortunate this year to see Aznavour live in concert here in NY at Radio City Music Hall. He was fantastic.
