Tango français - Lys GAUTY !

Lys Gauty, born Alice Gauthier on February 14, 1900, in Levallois-Perret in Paris area. Sang initially in local cinemas before the first engagement with the cabaret "At Fyscher" where George van Parys accompanied her at the piano. At the end of the Twenties, Lys became one of the queens of the popular love song and throughout the years a great performer of French chanson. Died in Monegasque, January 2, 1994.
Here is presented in tango "Espoir" ('Hope' /I am looking for love.../).

Although this great singer is slightly better-known, she deserves much more attention than she's presently getting. A wonderful voice and a sensitive rendition!

She deserves...:-)

Once I noticed you had wanted to present her here. This is still my 'Espoir'.

I think you know that she had made her very early recordings in...Brussels.

My cycle has not finished yet.

Thanks.

J'adore toutes les interprétaions de Lys Gauty. Ce tango est superbe.

Elyane Celis l'a chanté aussi.

Lovely. I came across this and Lys Gauty looking for (and finding) "J'Attends un Navire" by Weill. Thank you.

the harmonizing from 1:41 on is just extraordinary! thanks for sharing this gem, which I wouldn't have had the chance to hear otherwise.

Indeed, and I considered it once but material was lacking. I should research more in detail in libraries, but then it was time which was lacking. Maybe later...
