Thread Name: Obit: Francoise Hardy (1944-2024)
Subject: RE: Obit: François Hardy
Francoise Hardy's voice transports me to a lost imagined world of 60's stripy tops, smoky basement cafes, onion shaped bottles with candles, and the cool French singer hunched over a guitar. The epitome of cool. She wrote intimate songs of wistfulness and melancholy that crossed seas. 'All over the world' and 'Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles', are just beautiful - like the lady herself. She may be gone, but Her music lives on and captures an era of 60's pop/folk crossover - though she continued to write and perform in different decades and musical styles. RIP
