Françoise Hardy - Voilà (1967) Nice Audio

Francoise Hardy recently passed away at the age of 80, though the early videos are not the clearest, I wanted to document these fabulous old songs along with some information about her life.
"Voilà" is a beautiful song, I am proud to have uploaded the song on my channel.
Françoise Madeleine Hardy was born on 17 January 1944 at the Marie-Louise Clinic in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, in German-occupied France during World War II.
At the time of her birth, there was an air raid alert in place, with the windows of the clinic "exploding". She related being born during this violent context with the "abnormally anxious temperament" that she developed as an adult.
Her mother Madeleine Hardy, who came from an ordinary background, raised Françoise and her younger sister Michèle-born eighteen months after her-as a single parent. Her father Étienne Dillard-a married man who came from a much wealthier family-did little to help them financially and was largely an absent figure in their upbringing, only visiting the children a couple of times a year. Madeleine Hardy raised her daughters strictly, in a modest apartment on the 9th arrondissement's Rue d'Aumale.
Hardy had an unhappy and troubled childhood, and mainly engaged in solitary activities like reading, playing with dolls or listening to the radio. At the insistence of their father, the girls went to a Catholic school called Institution La Bruyère, under the tutelage of Trinitarian nuns. The gap of social origin between Hardy and her classmates was a source of permanent humiliation for her. She recalled in her autobiography: "This is most likely where the feeling of shame that has tormented me nonstop since I was a child took root.
Everything fell into place: the social status of my parents who I naively believed were divorced, the good sisters' constant complaints that my father was generally a year behind in his payments, and the various differences with the other girls. "Her lifelong insecurities were also fueled by her regular visits to her maternal grandmother in Aulnay-sous-Bois, who "told her repeatedly that she was unattractive and a very bad person".
Between 1952 and 1960, Hardy and her sister were sent every summer to Austria to learn German, encouraged by her mother's new lover, an Austrian baron. As her father played piano, Hardy was encouraged to receive piano lessons as a very young child, from which she quickly dropped out after experiencing stage fright when she was supposed to display her talents onstage at the Salle Gaveau.
Hope you have enjoyed listening to Francoise Hardy's music, I have many records of hers and still play them today.

This is a wonderful song that i've never heard before, and at one or two points i kept thinking FH was going to full-on launch into "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". Am i imagining this or are there some similarities in song structure ?
the small biog also makes for interesting reading so thank you for putting that together, it is most appreciated 🙏

Yes, that Tony Hatch sound bubbling through, certainly a very 60’s sound 😊🙏
