Françoise Hardy became an international sensation during the early 1960s through her albums on Disques Vogue, the French jazz label that then began showcasing chanson. She signed to the label at seventeen after answering a newspaper advertisement recruiting unknown singers while she was a freshman at the Sorbonne. The B-side of her debut single, "Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles," brought her to the forefront of the "Yé-yé" movement, mixing chanson with Anglophone rock and pop, and paving the way for this debut LP, which was lauded by the likes of Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger. This first offering is still arguably her best -- grab it now to understand why!

The esteemed French singer and actress Françoise Hardy achieved an international breakthrough as a teenager in the early 1960s as a prominent artist of the Yé-Yé movement, blending the sentimental chanson style with rock elements of the British 'Beat' groups. Her self-titled debut album, released by Disques Vogue in 1963, was applauded by Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan, among others, following the outstanding success of the melancholic lead single Tout Les Garçons Et Les Fils; since the rock element would soon wane in her work, this outstanding debut is the one to reach for to understand her dramatic early impact.

"Françoise Hardy's dreamy debut album, recorded when she was just eighteen, features 'Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles' (All The Boys And Girls), a song that was less a hit than a social phenomenon. The single sold five million copies worldwide. The public responded to Françoise' disarming naturalness; her singular, understated voice; the combination of intensity, intelligence and mystery. And the way she so effortlessly combined simplicity with sophistication. She was a breath of fresh air. Françoise' vital debut recordings are presented here alongside 'Françoise Hardy - Canta Per Voi In Italiano' (Sings For You In Italian), and complemented by an anthology of sublime instrumental jazz sessions by her friend and contemporary, Sacha Distel. In the period when these recordings were made -- before he became an international singing star -- Sacha was widely considered to be the finest jazz guitarist in France, winning many polls and recording prolifically. (Françoise would later appear as a guest on Sacha's TV show where they performed a duet, accompanied by his guitar, a beautiful version of 'Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour') The set includes historic sessions with John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet, with the Belgian saxophonist/flautist Bobby Jaspar and with guitarist Jean-Pierre Sasson; Sacha's tribute to the master, the Hommage A Django EP, and the first recording of his most famous composition, 'Marina (The Good Life)' -- the million selling song which would become one of the great standards of easy listening and prove over many decades to be a signature tune for Tony Bennett. It was written originally for Roger Vadim's contribution to the 'L'orgueil (Pride)' chapter of the portmanteau film, 'Les sept péchés capitaux (The Seven Deadly Sins)'; the sequence appearing alongside sketches by Godard, Chabrol and Demy."

Picture disc format. A seminal album of the French ye-ye era, Françoise Hardy's self-titled debut (known in the U.S. as The "Yeh-Yeh" Girl From Paris) was released shortly after her debut single "Oh Oh Chéri" in 1962. The success of this album, along with its hit "Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles," made the eighteen-year-old French bombshell a huge star in Europe and an icon of the French fashion and music industries. Along with other ye-ye girls of the '60s, like Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, and Sylvie Vartan, Hardy exuded a kind of sexy innocence that made French women the most liberated and the most desired in the world.

Picture disc format. Françoise Hardy canta per Voi in Italiano (1963): an album issued shortly after the debut with some of its songs and additional numbers re-recorded in Italian. While the original album is a classic of French pop, '60s AM magic, and of course, a forerunner of the yeh-yeh (aka yé-yé) sound, the additional tracks in Italian are a sweet counterpart.
