LA CHANSON FRANÇAISE

French chansons gained international renown in the forties thanks to stars like Edith Piaf and Charles Trénet, and in the fifties and sixties thanks to Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour and Juliette Gréco. La chanson française has always been characterized by the quality of its lyrics, exemplified by the work of singer-poets like Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Léo Ferré and Barbara.
