For those who have never heard the early 1960s teen chanteuse phenomenon of French ye-ye ("yeah-yeah") music there is NO better place to start than with this inexpensive import compilation CD. France Gall is perhaps the best of the ye-ye genre, and although she grew and matured as an artist (cutting sides with Elton John and Celine Dion later in her life) these early tracks (from 1963-1967)are the ones that made her a French star and an international cult icon. April March's 1995 song "Chick Habit" is an English re-working of the Gall tune "Never Mind the Girls" (French version on this collection). France Gall sang in several idioms, including jazz. Get to know France Gall through this and other material available. The love is there, waiting...Read full review
A very delightful collection of 1960's French pop songs by the beautiful and highly talented France Gall. Even if you do not understand the lyrics, the songs will stir your emotions and make you wish you spoke French. While this collection focuses on the 1960's era, Gall's career spanned decades and yielded many more hit songs. This collection is a wonderful first step into the world of France Gall. It will leave you with a smile and a desire to hear more from this legendary singer.

This is a great collection of France Gall's biggest hits of the 1960's. I just recently came to know about Gall due to my interest in the music of Serge Gainsbourg and I wish I could have know about her earlier. This is great music and she is an entertainer that deserves further investigation. Essential purchase for anyone that is a fan of 1960's popular music-don't let the language barrier keep you from enjoying.
