Irresistiblement: Sylvie Vartan 1965-1968 [Bonus Tracks]

It's difficult for me to put Sylvie Vartan into perspective, because, being from the U.S., I wasn't there for the ye-ye singers of the 60s. But, I was there for the Beatles, and those reviewers who dismiss Vartan's singing abilities sound like the older generation who dismissed the Beatles for their musicianship - and comparing her to Francoise Hardy is like comparing Ricky Nelson to Bob Dylan (first, what's the point? and, second, their styles and audiences were of a different complexion; yet, many listeners enjoy both). Vartan has a great voice that is perfectly suited for pop music, and this compilation of songs recorded during a four-year period establish her importance and her influence as she moved away from the typecasting of a ye-ye singer to a mature and singular performer. With a team of writers -- including her brother, Eddie - Vartan no longer had to depend on reinterpreting American rock `n' roll songs into French. She now sang songs written specifically for her, and this disc has the best of them -- some are very bouncy (Dans Tes Bras), others are borderline girl-group (Gonna Cry), some have an edginess (It's Not A Game), while still others are refined and slick (Irresistiblement). The selections are varied and show off to great effect Vartan's skill and range. If you like ye-ye, if you like Vartan, if you like good music, you'll like Irresistiblement.

Missing most of her hits...it was a hit and miss because titles were not listed. Titles: dans tes bras, gonna cry, je voudrais etre un garcon, cette lettre la, c'est a deux pas, ce jour la, j'ai fait un voeu, it's not a game, je pretere tes bras, et pourtant je reste la, la chanson, ballade pour un sourire, par amour par pitie, dis moi que tu m'aimes, je jour qui vient, l'oiseau, quel effet ca m'a fait, irresistiblement, one more day, i made my choice, thinking about you, another heart.

I first heard Sylvie Vartan in the 1960's, when she had sung "I Made My Choice" on TV. I have been a fan ever since. Her voice, accent, energy, conviction, and song selections are pure entertainment.

For me was an Excelent Deal, Item was as described, In good shape & delivery was fast. Thanks, You are a very good dealer.

Correct

Superb, nuff said.

welch tolle CD.Da ich ja die Sylvie mag, gehört diese CD zum Muss. Ihre Titel aus den Jahren 1965-1968 sind gut hörbar. Allen voran ihr Nr. 1 Hit in Frankreich "Irresistiblement".Auch ihre Versuche in englisch sind durchaus annehmbar.

i have always wanted some examples of her music for the player in my car which then becomes a truly french car. bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon bon.

En français et en anglais, la meilleure compilation de la période pop-rock sixties de Sylvie Vartan. Pas celle des tout débuts, celle du milieu (65 à 68) avec une sélection de chansons écrites spécialement pour Sylvie. Un excellent choix dans l'immense répertoire de Sylvie que le journaliste britannique surnomme à juste titre "The French Queen of Pop" !
