Charles Aznavour: 10 topics to not say goodbye
Charles Aznavour, the last giant of the French song of the twentieth
century, died at dawn on Monday, October 1, at 94 in the south of
France.
The most well-known French singer abroad sold more than 100 million
records, in 80 countries, over eight decades of an exceptional career
that he had not put an end to.
Of Armenian origin, Aznavour had just returned from a tour of Japan,
having been forced to cancel several concerts this summer (boreal) due
to a broken arm, caused by a fall. He planned to perform on October 26
in Brussels.
Nicknamed Frank Sinatra of France, he achieved world fame despite a
voice and a physicist, for many, atypical. "La Boheme", "La Mamma" and
"Emmenez-moi" are among his most outstanding songs of a repertoire of
marked nostalgic tone.
It was part of his nature, that constant artistic restlessness, as he
declared in an interview in EL PAÍS. "Everything inspires me:
television, radio, books ... As I have no imagination, I take what I
see, there are people who have it and, nevertheless, they are not able
to write a song". An artist, he said, is equally inspired by the
sorrows that joys. "Although it is true that there are not as many
happy songs as sad," said the ambassador of the French song.
He also composed for artists such as Edith Piaf and as an actor, he
participated in some 80 films and he usually lived in Geneva
(Switzerland), where he worked as an ambassador of Armenia.
"My work is my life, I love what I do and as long as I have the health
and strength to do it, I will do it", he comments for ABC in 2016.
