One of the best singers of the present Charles Aznavour had to refute rumors of his death in the beginning of this year.
As people say, if you are “buried” in advance, you’ll live for a long time. The author of thousands of songs (many of which, of course, you know) is almost 90 years, but on the life energy and talent he will leave in the dust almost every young chanson singer.
You can not simply utter the words “Eternal Love» («Une vie d’amour»), you will sing them. This, perhaps, the best song of Charles Aznavour dozes in the hearts of everyone of us, awaking in the most romantic moments of our lives.
For the domestic music fan a word “chanson” is for a long time a conception; however this musical genre is not always understood correctly. The present chanson has appeared not in Russia in “perestroika” times but thanks to legendary musicians from France. And speaking about the French or Parisian chanson, it is necessary to tell about such legendary person in the music world, as Charles Aznavour.
