Pour les Français qui ne parlent pas anglais : chanson originalement interprétée (et écrite ?) par la grande chanteuse anglaise Dusty Springfield. Titre original : "Once upon a time". Beaucoup mieux en anglais et chanté par Dusty. Je vous recommande donc l'original sur youtube (uploadé par kachzvi). Françoise a fait de magnifiques reprises de tubes anglais (voir "Tiny Goddess" de Nirvana), qui lui allaient bcp mieux à la voix. Ici, ce n'est pas vraiment son style, c'est tout.
The English lyrics fit the music better too. So, not the best song for Françoise, who's otherwise great in other Brit songs, adapted in French or not, but still interesting.
It's a cover of "Once Upon A Time", indeed by Dusty Sprinfield (you can find the original on youtube, kachzvi uploaded it). Interesting to compare. I like hearing Françoise sing louder, but as people said here, it's not really her style. The fact is that Dusty and Françoise had very, very different voices, Dusty's one being way more powerful. Dusty had also a perfect sense of rythm. Afterall, she was a great soul singer.
@p22adraig New layout absolutely terrible indeed. I find it extremely difficult to know when comments were posted ! Who had that idea at youtube ? On top of it, you now have to click on a link to see all the video comments to a vid. Even I would have done better ...
@p22adraig Btw : great vid. I love the pics you found. They're gorgeous (like the model ;) ). I'm going to use it for my blog at some point (I always give credit, btw, so you don't have to worry for that).
@p22adraig I know that it's Françoise Hardy. I was probably not very clear in my comment. By "model", I meant Françoise. I meant Françoise Hardy was absolutely lovely in her youth. She's still very beautifful now, being more than 60.
Cette adaptation (anglaise) avait été remarquée à l'époque, car pour une fois sa voix ressortait de façon percutante, au lieu de se fondre, d'une manière intimiste, dans la masse musicale, mais ce n'était pas véritablement "son" style et elle n'a pas insisté dans cette... voie.
grace à toi et aux paroles que tu as rajouté je vais bientot l enregistrer ce titre que je n'avais jamais entendue hier j'ai enregistrer 'l heure bleue' une autre chanson de francoise que j'adore /
sorry for replying in english, but my reply in french would be ungrammatical/make no sense whatsoever. it may not be her best, as you say (i think it is a french cover of a dusty springfield song), i think it's evocative.
0:50 "ok girl Françoise show us how you play guitar?" :P

@Kapellmeister35 the woman in the images is Françoise with various people. I just chose images that looked good, not really connected with the cover.

The comments in the new layout is confusing. Indeed, she was and is beautiful.

Thanks for the comments, I didn't notice another in that picture until now.

At 1:09, together, I believe, with her young sister Michèle.

Wow, good eye. I cannot recall ever seeing a photo of the late Michele. She sure seems to look a lot like Francoise. Thanks.

@Becky930 Thanks. The song evokes the time I think. And while her voice was not as powerful as other artists, I like how this song was done.
