January 17th, 1944 - June 11th, 2024
A tribute to French yé-yé singer-songwriter Françoise Hardy and her musical influence. We'll hear from the artist herself, (generations of) her contemporaries and current voices that remind me of her masterful approach to both the melancholic ballad and pop coup d'œil.

You are a "class act", Zoe!! Thanks for doing this tribute to Francoise. I hoped someone would honour her memory this week. I was still in my teens when I fell in love with her music. God only made one of her and that voice.
