Customer Reviews:

squeaky French pop superstar at her best.......2007-04-05

This is a great collection with all of her important singles.

France Gall: "Ye-Ye Girl of the 1960's".......2006-01-23

I liked this album a lot. Though France Gall doesn't have a strong voice, she does a good job of providing some interesting singing. She was one of the "Ye-Ye" girls of the 1960's.

The "Ye-Ye Girls" were not rockers like a Nancy Sinatra or even Lesley Gore. They didn't pretend to be singers, but mostly good looking girls who tried to vocalize.

France Gall does her best work on such delights as "Sacre Charlemagne" in which she talks about the misfortune of having to go to school and blames it on Charlemagne!!

Songs like "Bebe Requin" and "Baby Pop" are a lot of fun too.
Her version of Serge Gainsbourg's "Les Sucettes" supposedly had a sexual double meaning and sports a catchy tune.

"L'Amerique" is Gall's vision of what the United States represented to French teenagers.

This is a fun album despite Gall being out-of-tune on some songs.
The recording has good sound quality and is recommended.

Fun, French and not what you find on other compilations!.......2004-12-31

They had me hooked on this France Gall collection sampling the title track sound byte when I heard "Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son" which (if it translates to another tune - my not speaking French) is a cover of one of my all-time favorite "Twinkle" tunes: "Lonely Singing Doll"! Outside of that, the other songs in this collection don't seem to be covers of anything else, so it's always pleasing to me as a collector to find some "new" material from the 60s I hadn't heard before! France Gall is (agreeably to other posters) both childlike and "Ye-Ye", but I happen to enjoy that. This collection to me doesn't let the listener down even on the lesser things.

Nice 60's collection.......2001-07-11

This CD contains a nice collection of France Galle's songs of the 60's. I chose it because it has some of my favorite oldies including "Laisse tomber les filles", "N'ecoute pas les idoles", and "Nous ne sommes pas des anges". But with 23 songs on one CD, it is apt to include some so-so songs, too. I enjoy France Galle's uniquely girlish delicate voice and her happy youthful style that is quite melodious.

charm.......2001-06-22

Actually, I have the 4-CD box set of which this is a selection. That's how much I like this stuff. Yeah, there are some real duds (eg "Sacre Charlemagne"), but they are easily redeemed by the rest. Creative, inventive 60's pop, perfect arrangements, and delivered in that little girl voice that some people just hate. Her pitch is a little off (noticeable because she uses no vibrato), but her sense of rhythm is impeccable. If this is 'ye-ye' music --and that's very debatable-- then it's time to rehabilitate that label. Okay, the Gainsbourg tunes are among the best, but what a shame not to look any further! (Interesting: not a single cover version here, in an era dominated by adaptations of the Anglo-American top ten.)

Cute French 60's pop .......2005-03-26

I'm at the age where the epitome of beauty was Bridgette Bardot and I thought she was the sexiest French singer until I ran across France Gall. Gall's later decades was more serious singing, maybe you could compare her talent and long career to Madonna or Cher, but in terms of the quality of her songs from the 60's think more like a French Patsy Cline or Kiki Dee. If you like 60's rock n roll, you should check this anthology out (I read somewhere the Beatles liked her music in their "Hard Day's Night" era). You should also get this CD if you're a Francophile, since her songs are well enunciated (unlike most rock 'n roll of any nationality) you can easily find yourself singing along with these infectious songs. For those of you who are too young to know what the heck I'm talking about, give this CD a try if you like the Spice Girls or Lillix. "Pense a moi" is actually a nice jazz vocal, which sounds a little out of place in this anthology, but she actually had a number of these in her later repertoire. "Les Sucettes" (lollipops) was a daring double-entendre that might shock you if you think that sexually explicit songs are something new, and if you can understand some French, which provides a delightful clash with the sweetly innocent melody (if you don't understand French, it may as well be a Monkee's song). Many pop singers had a wider range, but Gall's voice had a certain...je ne sais quois!

Magic!.......2003-03-26

I was a huge fan of France Gall but had only listened to her 70's and 80's material...little did I know how delightful and magical her 60's work turned out to be. After a day or two I have been playing it non-stop!

France is the ultimate "femme-enfant" (child-woman), and her voice reflects her innocence.

Pay special attention to the songs written by the illustrious Serge Gainsbourg...

France Gall -- une chanteuse tres charmant!.......2002-07-16

This album is one of the prettiest things in the world.

France Gall is a living legend in her home country though hardly known outside of Europe. If you like light '60's pop, you will fall in love with this performer. She has light, airy, untrained voice and sings in a charmingly guileless manner. Plus she's a world-beating beauty, too. A rare combination of talents and gifts!

Once you buy this single-disc compilation, you'll want to give it to a friend or loved one and splurge for the 4 CD set for yourself! I can practically guarantee it!

5 stars for the artist, 2 for THIS boxset........2004-05-23

Sometimes I just hate album assemblers.
Who buys expensive boxsets? Right people who
want to collect a complete period of an artist.
If you are such a person, just buy the
France Gall 'longbox' available at amazon.fr
it contains all her Philips recordings: 74 tracks
in total on 3CD's with a beautiful 32 pages
photobooklet (13.5x24cm) at a much lower price.
Save money and get 8 hard to get France Gall
tracks extra and believe me no fillers but
killers and with a lot more attractive shape.
Or ask amazon.com to put it on their site.
Why don't they have this one? They got
Brigitte Bardot's Initiale Bb (Box) [IMPORT]
same label same serie same shape and
also the complete Philips output (apart from
some dispensable instrumentals from her
'Bardot Show' album)
P.s. If you think you only like this era of her
do give her album 'France Gall' from 1974 on Warner
a try: you might love it: she still has the same charm
in her voice on this -typically seventies- album

as the sixties. A pitty everything between 1969-1973
(nearly 40 songs!) is not on CD.
Sometimes just hate album assemblers.

FOR FRANCE GALL FANS.......2000-08-09

Do you like France Gall? How many times have you listened to Poupe de Cire?. This french singer from the sixties had tons of great songs composed by his father ( R. Gall ) or Serge Gainsbourg, orchestated mainly by Alain G. She had a charming voice and her songs have all a lovely and catchy jazz touch. For ye-ye fans.
