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.

Thanks for the Chantal Goya, you wouldn't happen to have any of her children's music in high quality, would you? I adore Un Lapin and think it's legitimately one of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed.

I don't, sorry. It was hard enough getting my hands on her regular stuff
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.

Ah well, thanks anyway. I'm pretty sure I downloaded a copy from Frostwire years ago on an old computer, but I don't think it was in high quality.
I heard the song again last night for the first time in a couple years and it almost brought me to tears with how beautiful it is.

You'll be happy to know that I found a two-disc CD collection of her most popular children's songs and I bought it.
I'll rip it to FLAC when I get it and see if I can upload it for you.
Kinda sad that this is becoming a meme. I love this genre
>>64489535
Fuck it, I'm willing to take that risk for music this good.
Might not be ye-ye necessarily, but does anyone have anything by Anne-Marie David? I loved her Eurovision songs so much.
>>64489535
Since when was it a meme?
Don't ruin another genre by making it well known on /mu/, the place music comes to die.

It's old pop that has fallen out of favor, though.
It's basically the French equivalent to City Pop.
>>64492114
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgJZjSUcPys
>>64492150
there is a wide range of styles tho, but it was heavily aimed to teenagers & it usually mixed 'French chanson', covers of US/UK (with different lyrics), twist influences, light R&B, light rock'n'roll, bubblegum pop & novelty songs.
>>64491759
it's 320kbps BTW.
Only the 9 first songs are from the sixties (& 6 alternatives mixes)
and there are also 6 useless recent songs (from the 90's? 00's?) sung by the old Zouzou.
Thanks for sharing got any Tropicália?
