francoise hardy

A seminal album of the French yé-yé era, Franoise Hardy's self-titled debut (known in the US as The "Yeh-Yeh" Girl From Paris!) was released shortly after her debut single 'Oh Oh Cheri' in 1962. The success of this album, along with its hit 'Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles', made the eighteen-year-old French bombshell a huge star in Europe and an icon of the French fashion and music industries. Along with other ye-ye girls of the sixties, like Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, and Sylvie Vartan, Hardy exuded a kind of sexy innocence that made French women the most liberated and the most desired in the world.
