Sad news, RIP

Never met him but I bet he was loaded with that Gallic charm and savoir faire that makes older French men so charismatic.

Aged 94 with a career over 80 years. So started aged 14 or younger.
Still touring until very recently.
Amazing.

A great artist and song writer. Even the Americans called him the French Frank Sinatra. His songs are known the world over and his texts are so true and very emotional. He was a one off. He loved his country of birth, Armenia and his adopted country: France. A great man.

Noooo. I chose 'She' for Mrs D to walk down the aisle to.

Only last Friday, he was on French TV talking about his plans for the future. Very sad indeed.

The Goodies did a 'tribute' song called Charles Aznovoice, but I can't find it online

Charles Aznovoice

Crually that was the first thing I thought when I read the title

'She' was/is a great song ... I've always loved Elvis C's version, though not on the film it was in
