The icon of French music, Françoise Hardy, dies
Francoise Hardy

One of France's most beloved singer-songwriters, Françoise Hardy, has died at the age of 80.

"Mom is no more," her son, Thomas Dutronc, who is also a musician, wrote on social networks.

Hardy burst onto the music scene in 1962 and became a cultural icon who inspired singers such as Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan. Known for her melancholic ballads, she symbolized the French Yé-yé (yeah yeah) pop movement, so-called because of her take on English music.

Her most famous songs include All the Girls and Boys (Tous les garçons et les filles), It Hurts to Say Goodbye (Comment te dire adieu) and My Friend the Rose (Mon amie la rose).

Hardy was born in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1944 and raised by her mother.

Like many girls at the time, she grew up listening to Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and other American and British stars on Radio Luxembourg, and she signed her first record deal at the age of 17.

Her breakthrough as a musician came in 1962 with the plaintive, plaintive Tous les garçons et les filles, when she sang of all the boys and girls walking hand in hand, while "I walk the streets alone, my heart aches." , was an instant hit in France and even broke into the UK charts.

Her style wowed fashion designers, becoming a model for Yves Saint Laurent and Paco Rabanne, who designed a gold plate minidress for her.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger once called her his "ideal woman," while fellow singer-songwriter Bob Dylan wrote her several love letters.

He addressed her in a poem on the back of his 1964 album Another Side of Bob Dylan.

Among those paying tribute to Hardy after news of her death was the French culture minister Rachida Dati, who wrote on social media: “How do you say goodbye to her? The eternal Françoise Hardy, the legend of French song, who entered, through her sensibility and melodies, the heart of an entire country".
