180g black vinyl edition! Charles Aznavour has recorded over 1000 songs and interpreted them in five languages with a "timbre of sand and rust", 800 of which he wrote himself. The compilation "Mes jeunes Ann?es" contains some of the most beautiful titles from the early days of the Armenian-French chansonnier, songwriter, composer and film actor, who was born in Paris in 1924. With some 200 million records sold worldwide, Aznavour is one of the outstanding personalities of French chanson. His breakthrough came in 1946 when ?dith Piaf became aware of him and took Aznavour on a tour through France and the United States. The lyrics of his songs often deal with love in a way that had not existed before in French chansons. Some of his most famous titles are "La Boh?me", "La Mamma", "Que c'est triste Venise", "She", "Mourir d'aimer", "Paris au mois d'ao?t", "Je m'voyais d?j?", "Les Com?diens", "Tu t'laisses aller", "Emmenez-moi", "Comme ils disent" and "Pour faire une jam". In these, Aznavour sings about the symptoms and physical pleasures of love, women who let themselves go, lonely transvestites, war children and life artists.
