Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles

Celebrating Françoise Hardy's indelible mark on the history of modern music. • Hardy's 1962 debut, newly remastered. Françoise Hardy's Vogue years have left a mark on the history of French and international music. Even today, the 5 years between 1962-67 remain an exceptional moment in her career, the one when she exploded in the eyes of a generation that was born during or just after the World War II, the generation that would be part of the May 1968 Paris protests. Hardy exploded not only in France alongside her fellow "Yéyés," but also internationally, where she became the symbol of French elegance, talent and charm. The United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain- no one could resist Françoise, who recorded most of her hits in English, Italian, and German. Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles is an album that combines elements of rockabilly, folk, jazz and blues. Although the album followed the formula of the yé-yé movement-characterized by attractive teenage girls singing innocent pop songs about adolescence-Hardy set herself apart from her peers by writing most of her own material.
