Françoise Hardy signed her first contract with the record label Vogue in November 1961. In April 1962, shortly after finishing school, her first album, “Oh oh Chéri”, appeared, with the title song written by Johnny Hallyday’s writing duo. The flip side of the record, “Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles” became a huge success, with 2 million copies sold. She had long hair and usually wore jeans with a leather jacket while accompanying her songs on the guitar.

She sang in English, Italian, Spanish, and German occasionally. In 1963, she represented Monaco in the Grand Prix d’Eurovision de la Chanson with “L’amour s’en va” and took fifth place. In 1968, she received the Grand Prix du Disque Académie Charles Cros.

In 1981, she married her long-time companion Jacques Dutronc, with whom she had already had a son (Thomas Dutronc) in 1973. In May 2000, she had a comeback with the album “Clair Obscur”. Her son played the guitar, and her husband sang the duet “

Puisque Vous Partez En Voyage”. Iggy Pop and Etienne Daho participated, as well. She currently lives near Paris.

In 2006 she released a new duets album entitled “Parenthèses” including a song with her son Thomas.

Maybe La Question (1971) ? i find "L'Amitié (1965) and Ma Jeunesse Fout Le Camp (1967) to be my favourite ones from the 60s, and as good a place as any to start. Also Voilà EP from (1967), if you can find it...

From these charts it's clear everyone is listening to compilations and not original albums, that's a shame. the albums she recorded in the mid-to-late 60s are real gems, as are "la question" and "star" from the 70s, and even if her 70s work is patchy it contains some amazing high points. there's a much greater body of work beyond her first few records...

"Au fond du rêve doré" was released in 1967 , it's one of the four songs of the "Voilà" EP. I don't know if you could find it on CD. http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/Seanpaninaro/?action=view&current=hardyrvedor.jpg
