LUCIENNE DELYLE (1917 -- 1962). Born in Paris, she was a fully educated pharmaceutist. First she sung as an amateur singer, until 1939, when she was heard and immediately engaged by Jacques Canetti, the artistic director of Radio Cité. In 1940 she married the jazzman Aimé Barelli, who guided her career ever since. After the immense success of the song "Mon amant de Saint-Jean" (My Lover From Saint-Jean), in 1942, Lucienne Delyle will be the most popular French female singer of 1950 years. In 1953, Bruno Coquartix invited her and young Gilbert Bécaud to be the stars for the gala opening concert at the „Olympia". Delyle's career declined rapidly in the end of the 1950, due to the progress of leucaemia, she suffered from. In 1960 she gave the last series of concerts on the stage of „Bobino". She died in Monte Carlo, in 1962.

  • Latin language without any acentuation whatsoever (accents in French only modify the sound but there are NO accents in terms of "emphasis", tone etc...). The speaker chooses where and how he puts the emphasis. So it has a huge potential for musicality but personalized and adapted musicality. A blank page with a full repertoire of instruments in a way.

  • Other languages can be good but their accentuation limits the adaptability cuz there are already sounds imposed before the start. I don't know if that's make sense enough. Plus it it flattering for beautiful voices because it is so flat/pure that we really hear their "timbre" well...So a kind of disadvantage of French a priori makes it perfect for music...
