Charles Aznavour is the biggest living chanson star in France and, since the death of his US colleague Frank Sinatra, the last in the series of giants of entertainment: In Time Magazine in 1998 he was named "Entertainer of the century" - even before Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.Aznavour has written some 700 texts in his seventy years on the stage and ...about a thousand. Even as an actor he made it to the top. He has received many awards and is regarded as one of the great stars of french film. The ninety-year-old artist, in whom the London Times in the 1950s saw the "greatest vocal event of modern times," attributes his extraordinary career to a "great encounter.It was none other than Edith Piaf, who discovered the 22-year-old during a performance of "Roche et Aznavour" in Paris' Quartier Latin. The legendary and rare recordings from Aznavour's early years are included in this homage to a great artist, as well as original albums from the 1950s, including the English debut in 1956.Gilbert Bécaud, Edith Piaf, Patachou, Juliette Gréco and other companions, in whose repertoire Aznavour's chansons have a firm place, round off this birthday tribute with some legendary contributions.
