Controversial winner of Eurovision 1965. Gall was allegedly booed during rehearsals due to her performance of "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" being too "pop" for Eurovision. She won the competition for Luxembourg nonetheless.

France Gall - F.G. [1966]
>yé-yé, French, most songs written by Serge Gainsbourg
"Les Sucettes" ("Lollipops") is a French pop song written by Serge Gainsbourg and first recorded by France Gall in 1966. One of Gall's biggest hits, it was an unusually risqué song for its time, though in performing it she was unaware of the fact. Gall, aged 18, did not understand the double meaning of the song when she recorded it. By Gall's account she did not realize until later why the filming of the clip attracted so many visitors to the set.
She was extremely upset upon finally learning the truth about the song's double meaning–"mortified, hiding herself away for weeks, refusing to face anyone". Gall said that she had sung Gainsbourg's songs "with an innocence of which I'm proud. I was pained to then learn that he had turned the situation to his advantage, mocking me." In a 2001 television interview, Gall said that she felt "betrayed by the adults around me."
Despite its commercial success, "Les Sucettes" caused Gall, throughout her later life, to turn her back on the Gainsbourg period and most of the songs he wrote for her, which included her Eurovision Song Contest 1965 hit, "Poupée de cire, poupée de son".
Gainsbourg called the song "the most daring song of the century" in an interview with the magazine Rock and Folk.

Can you imagine being some unsuccessful (commercially) folk musician suffering from depression, then one day being told some hot french pop star was a fan and wanted to meet you? Not only that, you eventually meet her and you completely sperg out and don't even talk to her? Nick truly was /r9k/
Since these albums are usually 90% fluff, you guys should list some of your favorite Yé-Yé tracks so I can put together a /mu/ essential Yé-Yé comp album

>>64397423
another similar bunch of compilations has been released by Metro Select – 4 volumes (2*CD each) – that seems quite interesting even it isn't strictly Yéyé:
https://www.discogs.com/fr/label/776206-Tr%C3%A8s-Chic!
>>64401090
Working on trying to get some of her early stuff organized. It's tough because most of her early albums all have the same title
>>64401664
They seem to have different titles on RYM
I'm assuming there are reissues with same titles or something
>>64401790
I was going of off Discogs
>>64397809
deep down inside I know and accept that ye ye is literally aesthetic: the genre and is 60s france's version of the mediocre taylor swift and carly rae jepsen girl pop that we have today but it's so easy and enjoyable to listen to.
>>64401930
From what I understand, a lot of her albums didn't have titles, but were often referred to by their most successful song/single. Looks like Discogs and RYM just name them differently, but they are all the same albums.

What were the male equivalents of all these chicks?
Jacques Dutronc? Claude François? Christophe? ...
It seems guys were singing more rock-ish songs
bumping with some of my favorites
clothilde - fallait pas ecraser la queue du chat
clothilde- saperlipopette
Delphine Desyeux - Je suis la tigresse
Charlotte Leslie - Les Filles C'est Fait Pour Faire L'amour
>>64403818
You've got the chanson guys like Brel and Becaud around the same time.
>>64403923
but they aren't yéyé at all: they were part of the older generation (the 'chanson' guys as you said) even if they were mixed with the singers from 'Salut Les Copains'...
I'm thinking more about 'bubblegum pop' acts like Sheila but with male singers: stupid teenage topics, groovy music, etc.
>>64404016
The male singers are out of my area of expertise unfortunately. You named about all of the big Yé-Yé guys I know. I only really got into Johnny Hallyday myself
