He died at 94 according to al-Beeb. Amazing singer and accomplished pianist - showcased in “Shoot The Piano Player.”

Azanavour will be sadly missed.

>>showcased in “Shoot The Piano Player.”

How COULD I have forgotten that?

I know I saw it when it was first out. Now I’ll have to look for it. Thank you for that memory.

I will always remember “Dance in the Old Fashioned Way”.

Adieu, mon vieux.

The movie referenced was by the late Francois Truffaut.

We see another legend gone - among the French immortals, Edith Piaf was greater.

Didn’t know he was still around.

My dad really liked him.

They lost Johnny Halliday last year.

Introduced my parents to his work in the late 60s with an anniversary present of tickets to a concert he gave at Carnegie Hall.

The man could sing love songs...even when he sang in a language I don’t understand. I guess it was just the emotion in his voice.

Thank you, Charles and RIP
