With Sylvie, we are over the moon.
HERE'S A FRACTION OF DISCS OF SYLVIE VARTAN, WHO RELEASED 50TH ORIGINAL STUDIO ALBUM IN OCT 2021.
SYLVIE VARTAN ON STAGE.
Not for nothing, Sylvie Vartan's active career spans six decades.
The Star and an authentic live performer.
Every concert live in Japan that I saw with my own eyes has such a great impact on me.
Especially the recent performances in 1992, 2005, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2018.
All moments still vivid in my mind in detail and her voice echoes in my ear.
I've never dissapointed at her performance even a single second.
Sylvie is always above and beyond my expectations.
One of my friends, who is semi-professional painter, asked me about
Sylvie Vartan and I answered in that way. Then, she lost for words for a moment.
Real Sylvie Vartan right before our eyes, simply fabulous!

Biography of the four (4) singers Sylvie Vartan, Francoise Hardy, France Gall, Sheila. They made their debut in 1960s (in thier late teens) and are the epitome of the French popular music and pop culture in 1960s/1970s. It has color photographs of each of them on several pages in the middle. Those of Sylvie look not thoroughly selected, though.
These stars were in early adolescence at the dawn of Rock & Roll (a style of popular music) that emerged from America and had an impact on the global music landscape from the mid-1950s to the end-1960s.
The 1960s were also an age of fashion innovation for women including jeans and pants and many more, as Yves Saint Laurent showed his first LE SMOKING tuxedos for women in 1966, which Sylvie Vartan and Francoise Hardy wore first of all.
Such historical background adds interest in these iconic French singers. Also, getting married in thier early or late twenties at their peak of popularity, they valued both profession and family. The independent unique persons' professional success brought a great impact on many young people both nationally and internationally beyond the 1960s/1970s.
Notably, Sylvie Vartan has constantly released albums ( * ) and performed on the stage at home and abroad till now, having a big presence. ( * the 50th studio record of original songs in 2021)
Sylvie Vartan per a French photograher Gerard Houin in his prime 1970s.He finds the best angle and captures most beautiful moments whether or not Sylvie moves. We feel a wind (breeze) and those are a bit different from others, I think. Even today (2021 for exemple) , his pictures of Sylvie on stage are simply fresh and stimulating in the same way. A fantastic photographer.

ODESSA (CD) - Sylvie Vartan chante pour Ukraine - Amazon France
Sylvie Vartan chante pour Ukraine (Sylvie Vartan sings for Ukraine), EP album of 5 titles that includes Jonh Lennon's Imagine, which Sylvie sang for the 1st time in her 1st live in Sofia, Bulgaria in October 1990, her three original autobiographical numbers and Nicolas (recording of 2015 in Sofia with Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra). Sylvie Vartan sings out of her early years, her childhood.Nicolas, her great success of 1979 is a cover of Hungarian song in French text reflecting Sylvie Vartan's childhood in Sofia. Sylvie Vartan has richer beautiful voice and never fail to deeply move us since 1979 whenever and however she sings it. An absolutely formidable number Sylvie performs in recording or live. It generates a sense of unity between Sylvie and audiences in every live.
This mini-album especially resonates in the heart in the midst of war, the Russian extreme barbarity of invasion and extermination of Ukraine.
Sylvie Vartan acts urgently and provices humanitarian aid through music. Her top musicians volunteered to participate in this recording in Paris in April 2022.
Incidentally, she runs NPO Association Sylvie Vartan pour La Bulgarie, which she started with her brother/composer Eddie Vartan (1937-2001) in December 1990, mainly supporting unfortunate children in her homeland, where she spent her first 7 years or so before her family legally immigrated to France in 1952.

CELEBRATON OF HER 60-YEARS ACTIVE CAREER!
A memorable album of Sylvie Vartan recorded in Paris and released on 1 October 2021, just before her new recital in Paris; top project to accentuate her highly active creative long career. A brilliant fresh team of songwriters and composers participated including Clara Luciani, La Grande Sophie, Leonard Lasry, Joseph D'Anvers, Clarika among others. Needless to say about the musiciens. At a glance, each of 14 titles (1. Le Bleu de la Mer Noire through to Tout reste a dire.) stealed my heart. Authentic Vartan.
Amazing Sylvie Vartan leads a life of constant creativity, having a spirit of adventure, staying at the same time hungry and serene. A double celebration! The 60th anniversary of stage career and the remarkable 50th original album. Vartan is blessed.
Impressive opening number LE BLEU DE LA MER NOIRE and DU COTE DE MA PEINE. Clala Luciani's modern piece A DEUX PAS DE VOUS, a ray of sunshine of the album that best suits Vartan's voice. Finally, striking MERCI POUR LE REGARD and gracefully dynamic 1st single LES VENTS CONTRAIRES let fantastic fresh air in.
Otherwise, the album photos do not always have to be such close-up simple portrait, I think. Sylvie Vartan is a beautiful person but it's not only her visage. It's someone exceptional as a whole, a full-length, her posture when to stand and move, her style, aura, personality. (photo left : Collector Box)
