Francoise Hardy

Francoise Hardy was a favorite with European audiences in the 60's. She sang mostly love songs. Her approach to music was serious (she almost never smiled) and direct. She sang mostly in French (the language of romance). In addition, she was considered to be exquisitely beautiful. Hardy would never have caught my attention if I hadn't frequently visited Europe during those years. She, like many others, were swept under the bridge by the British Invasion.
