i can't believe i didn't start this thread years ago

can i also suggest getting the wonderful and very informative book...Ye-Ye Girls of '60s French Pop



very in depth sections about the major players in Ye-Ye as well as many unknowns....plus a great discography

some quick favorites

i just love the arrangements in this song


Chantal Goya was purrrrfection personified....she had such an amazing carrier which included working in film with French new wave master Jean-Luc Godard


Sylvia Vartan was a Bulgarian born Ye Ye singer and often so dark and depression....
"Fallen boxer is to spare
Condemned is to blindfold
Killed enemy is to bury
Injured horse is to terminate
For love, for pity
Oh, for love, for pity"


in all honesty when i hear the term Ye-Ye this song is always the first thing that comes to my head....that amazing voice....the fun pop music mixed with her obviously apathetic attitude
