France Gall is dead

I just read the sad news about French singer France Gall passing away, seventy years old. It's so sad. I first heard her music as a kid when I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest and her winning song from 1965, "Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son", became one of my favourites from the competition.

But I also like her music from the eighties, especially the albums "Babacar" and "Débranche !". Check out the video to my personal favourite, "Ella, Elle L'a" from 1987, down below.

Rest in peace, France.

"I can't seem to live without your love"
