Remembering French cultural icon and singer Françoise Hardy

Release Date:

One of France's best-loved singer-songwriters, Françoise Hardy was a leading cultural icon of the Swinging Sixties and one of the biggest stars of the "yé-yé" boom that swept across Europe at the time. Hardy has died at the age of 80 after a battle with cancer. Renowned for her hits "Comment te dire adieu" and "Le Temps de l'amour", she enjoyed a career that spanned more than six decades. Last year she was named one of the 200 best singers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine – the only French performer on the list. Music critic Jenny Ben Brahim and film critic Lisa Nesselson speak to Eve Jackson about her life and career.
