After a first year of higher learning to the Sorbonne, an advertisement in the newspaper France-Evening holds all its attention: a recording company wishes to audition of young singers. Francoise obtains an appointment and passes a test which remains without continuation. She contacts other companies among which, Vogue, which has Johnny Hallyday in its catalog and which wishes to find its during female. Interested by his style, the person in charge of hearings invites it to improve and courses of Solfège give him. She enters then to the Small academy of Mireille (she will remain two years there).

The years Sails

With the end of the year, 500.000 specimens were already sold. The press seizes the phenomenon. Paris Match puts it as a cover for its number of the January 5th 1963 and devotes it new “Idole” of the song. This success, carried by the wave “Yéyé”, also comes to him from its talents of writing and composition, little currents in the new interpreters of this beginning of the sixties . Claude Lelouch, then unknown, films it for one of the very first Scopitone. Monaco chooses it to defend its colors with the Concours Eurovision of the song the March 23rd with London. The scenario writer Roger Vadim makes it begin with the cinema in Château in Sweden , according to the play of Francoise Sagan. She records other discs, connects the official receptions and the rounds, then taken her first steps on the scene of the Olympia in November.

End 1963, All the boys and the girls reaches the million sold discs and crosses the borders. Translated by Quelli beyond mia eta' , the song knows the same score of sales in Italy. Its English songs are also well accommodated Outre-Manche. In particular Catch has Falling Star in 1964 and especially All Over the World , adaptation of one of its compositions ( In the whole world ), which is classified at the head Hit-parade in 1965. This same year, the Germany makes it popular the shortly after a show televised, with the title Frag' den Abendwind . In 1966 it takes part in the 16th Festival of the song of Sanremo.

His/her companion Jean-Marie Périer, photographer of the review Hello the buddies , contributes to it with the assistance of dressmakers of avant-garde like Paco Rabanne, Yves the St. Lawrence and André Courrèges.

Jean-Marie Périer makes him discover and to like the Corsica and suggests to him making there build a house. He advises it in his choices and the influence on all that touches with its image and its career. He encourages it to continue to make cinema. The year 1965 is partly devoted to the cinema. After a short participation in the last scene of What' S New Pussycat Cleaves To give, here it is in Greece for the turning of a ball in the middle of the young scenario writer Jean-Daniel Pollet. In June, it occurs for first once on an English scene, with the cabaret of the hotel Savoy , with London. October is the month of its second passage to the Olympia.

On this occasion, the Warner, in agreement with Vogue, diffuses its discs on the US market. The launching of The Yeh-Yeh Girl from Paris , makes it take part, inter alia televised appearances, with the Grace Kelly Show and the pages of the magazines take over.

In 1967 it creates “Asparagus”, its own production company and sign an new agreement with Vogue to distribute it. The singer Jacques Dutronc now entered his life and their long separations are to him testing. The rounds are done at an intensive pace. Not only in France, but also with the Canada, the the Middle East, in South America. In 1968, it makes the round of the most important British universities, occurs in Spain and South Africa. In front of success gained abroad, it is decided to temporarily stop the rounds to record new German and Italian, English songs. At the beginning of May 1968, it thus honors its last contracts: a third song recital to the Savoy in London and a voyage to the Congo to give a recital to Kinshasa. Of return in France, the revolt coed gains the country. Its recording company advises to him to move away from the capital. It leaves with Dutronc to Corsica. The rumor on its desire to forsake the scene with the profit of the disc, is made hear. Indeed, the singer seriously thinks of making some more and this pause in the rounds is favorable for him to cross the step.

For does its next album, Serge Gainsbourg compose Comment to him to tell you good-bye? . It is one of large successes of the year 1969. This return to the top of the Hit-parade gives again a whiplash with its career. However, its decision to give up the scene is now irrevocable. It will give from now on only televised services. As for the cinema… to make the actress does not interest it any more.

Its spare time is made profitable to follow courses of Psychologie then it turns to the traditional Astrologie. Its interest in this field is quickly known and it quickly receives proposals for a work which it accepts to improve near experienced astrologers. Side music, it breaks with the Vogue discs.

Personal messages

In 1970, Francoise Hardy creates a new business of production: Hypopotam. A three year old contract entrusts to Sonopresse the distribution of its production.

One 45 turns also leaves, with a duet with the actor Patrick Dewaere: do not be polished for You . In spite of their quality, these albums will not carry the adhesion of the public and will remain confidential.

An new agreement is signed in 1973 with WEA. The singer, who aspires to change register, puts herself in search of melodists. Collaboration with the composer-songwriter Michel Berger, will be an outstanding stage in its career.

Drunk musics

The education of his/her child makes him forsake the writing of songs. At EMI the tandem Gabriel Yared - Michel Jonasz concoctent to him three albums with colorings funky and jazzy . We are in 1978, in full period “Disco” and the success of I listen to drunk music attracts a younger public to him. The March 30th 1981 the couple Hardy-Dutronc Marie in front of the Corsica mayor of Monticello in . Tamalou is on all the waves. Francoise Hardy joins again, certainly, with success but these songs hardly satisfy it. “I was always the same one, I like the slow beautiful songs on bottom of violins. I like only the sad songs. ”

In spring 1982, the 33 turns Quelqu'un which from goes away is in the record dealers. The song, Do not draw on the ambulance déboule in Vidéo-clip on television. The silhouette is unchanged, but the hair is short now. The course of forty is close and she does not see herself “pushing the ditty” last forty years. However, it takes again the feather and leaves two 45 turns: Me to want to you , on a music of Louis Chédid, in 1984 and V.I.P. on a composition of Jean-Christmas Chaléat, in 1986. Meanwhile, she writes also songs for Diane Such ( Faire again knowledge ) and for Julien Clerc ( My angel ).

In 1988, at the end of twenty six years of career, it makes the decision to stop. Shifts , leaves out of CD. This 22e opus is announced like its last. She wrote all the texts of them. Carried by the title Partir nevertheless (on a music of Dutronc) it becomes gold disc in few weeks.

Its resolution taken, it however makes a point of keeping a foot in the medium of the song. It is invested in the writing for Julien Clerc ( Fais me a place ), Patrick Juvet, Viktor Lazlo, Jean-Pierre Mader ( In short, in conclusion) and Guesch Patti. Create new versions for a compilation of its songs. Take part in caritative or collective discs and makes the promotion of the first album of its foal, Alain Lubrano (1992). Answers the requests of Malcolm McLaren (1994) and Damon Albarn of the group Blur (1995). In addition, its activity of astrologer is undertaken of face: cosigne some works, collaborates in specialized magazines and holds during five years a daily heading on the radio station RFM.

To return nevertheless

Against any waiting, thanks to the support of the singer Etienne Daho, a new album appears in April 1996 under the label of Virgin. On the melodies rock'n'roll of Alain Lubrano and Rodolphe Burger, the Danger confirms that its greater source of inspiration was and will be always the suffering and the pain of the feelings.

The October 4th 1997, Julien Clerc festival her fifty years with the Sport hall. Invite some great names of the French song and succeeds in making it sing on scene with him. The year 2000 sees the exit of Clearly-obscure . His/her Thomas son accompanies it with the guitar on a few pieces of this album made up of Duo S and of Reprise again S. the song Since you leave on a journey sung in duet with Jacques Dutronc, contributes to propel it Disque of gold. At once after, the astrologer replaces the singer to put itself at the drafting of a talk on astrology. the Rates/rhythms of the Zodiaque is in the bookstores at the end of March 2003.

Thanks to this album, certified Disc of gold two months after its exit, it is distinguished as artist interprets female year with the Victoires of the music the March 5th 2005.

Into the media, the word “idol” for a long time fell in disuse. That of “icon” replaced it.
