More Info:
Françoise Hardy has never hidden her disdain for her first and somewhat intolerable hit,"Tous les garçons et les filles", which she finds overly sentimental. Yet, it gives it's title to this album, marking the beginning of an extraordinary career defined by integrity and beauty, spanning over fifty years. As was customary at the time, the album is a compilation of Super 45s, which, uniquely for her generation, she writes and composes entirely on her own, with the exception of a cover of Jil and Jan's "Oh Oh Chéri" and "Le Temps de l'amour," written by Dutronc and Lucien Morisse. Winning the Grand Prix du disque from the Charles Cros Academy in 1963, this album, released at the heart of the yé-yé wave, easily stands apart. It shines with the silky softness of her voice and delivery, and above all, the indefinable yet constant charm of these romantic little songs, pastel in their innocence but always wrapped in a mist of doubt.
