I've just discovered this french singer who I never knew about before. Sadly she died aged 56 in 1996 but I just love her voice. I love this song too: an adaption of an aria form Bach's Matthews Passion. It was adapated for a film in 1962.
Just wanted to share it with you. I think it's sublime but then I adore Bach and love french singers.

Not my cup of tea but I can see why you love this.
I love it!!!! Have had to restrain myself from asking for a list of French singers.
Ah Kahless -- well horses for courses
Seahorse --- I can't stop playing it. Got the CD now too ;-))
A lovely song. Never heard of her before though.
Hi Philip. Good to see you here. Yes she was new to me too --- and I know quite a lot of the 60s french singers. She and Dusty Springfield seem to have shared several tracks.
Frida sang another beautiful song for Eurovision in the 60s: no comparison to the rubbish they have now.
Please, what was the film's title? I have the song, but I'm looking for the picture.
Many thanks,

Hi LaLola. The film was 'Le repos du guerrier' with Brigitte Bardot --- a Roger Vadim film
