GRECO, JULIETTE - Bonjour Tristesse - 50 grands succ?s (Sealed) (2CD)

Juliette Gr?co was born in Montpellier on February 7, 1927. Her parents separated and she grew up with her grandparents in Bordeaux. Her mother took her to Paris in 1933. After the war, Juliette discovered the bubbling intellectual scene of the Parisian rive gauche. In 1947, a new club opened, the Tabou, where she became the celebrated muse of the bohemian community of Saint-Germain-des-Pr?s. In 1950 her first record Si tu t'imagines was released. In 1951 she received the SACEM prize for her recording Je hais les dimanches. In 1954 she already sang in the Olympia. After having appeared in several films, she turned back to chanson, to which she remained faithful after that. She sang titles by Jacques Brel, L?o Ferr?, Guy B?art and Serge Gainsbourg, who was completely unknown at that time. In 1965 she took a leading role in the television series Belph?gor or the Secret of the Louvre. She regularly released new albums and her tours took her around the world. In 2007, she was awarded the French music prize Victoires de la musique for her life's work.
