THE Lovemark of Romantic French singers
If you enjoyed the film "Notting Hill", you probably melted when the song "She" carried the mood in the background. The song was translated into half a dozen languages and topped the charts. Charles Aznavour is THE Lovemark of Romantic French singers - the Classic. Wrote music for the famous Edith Piaf, whose biography won the Oscar 2008. Charles Anzavour was born in Paris, of Armenian Parents, and his real name was Shahnourh Varinag Aznavourian, May 22, 1924. The Armenian-French singer, songwriter, actor, and public activist, besides being one of France's most popular and enduring singers, is also one of the most well-known singers in the world. He is known for his characteristic short figure and unique tenor voice; clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravely and soulful low notes. He has appeared in more than 60 movies, composed about 1000 songs (including 150 in English, 100 in Italian, 70 in Spanish, and 50 in German), and sold well over 100 million records. Aznavour started his global farewell tour in late 2006. Happy family man, too! He earns his place among the Lovemarks!
