The Indian government approved the plan for the pilot project. When Nehru died, the initiative became mired in bureaucracy. The new Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri was nominated to succeed Nehru. The budget request for Parliament to fund the chlorella algae project was prepared by Shastri's staff. The project became victim to political jockeying and an outbreak of war with Pakistan because it competed with traditional agricultural interests.The project lost its main sponsor after the death of Shastri at the 1966 India-Pakistan peace conference.

Kevin Kingsland founded Centre House, a self-discovery and human-potential community known as a nucleus of yoga and spirituality in the late sixties and seventies. Seekers came from all over the world to study with visiting guru.<mask>' Yoga Science laboratory has scientists studying meditation, telepathy and neuroplasticity, as well as Tibetan lamas and chief Druids. Nuclear Evolution was written by <mask> and is considered to be a definitive guide to the human endocrine system, light frequencies and human personality. The book was described as a giant step forward in integrating science with religion in a meaningful way. Centre House was an experiment in group consciousness where the majority of residents were well-educated students, teachers and scientists interested in the convergence of science and spirituality. For a while the large basement kitchen was a macrobiotic restaurant, first run by Craig Sams, then called Gandalf's Garden, which counted John Lennon amongst its health-conscious patrons. The first issues of Gandalf's Garden magazine were published when Muz Murray was a resident of Centre House. <mask>, his son John, and Kevin Kingsland organized the world's first World Conference on Scientific Yoga.The concept of Christ Yoga, a book written by <mask>, linking Christ's teachings to those of Buddha and the Vedas, caused some controversy at the conference.

He would be going from the United Kingdom to the United States. As the spiritual axis shifted to America, <mask> visited his friend Laura Huxley who urged him to move to the United States where he became a U.S. citizen.He founded the University of the Trees in 1973, an alternative education and research center for the social sciences to study the laws of nature and their relation to human consciousness. He called it "group consciousness" because students lived on the campus and studied a wide range of subjects. The University of the Trees Press published <mask>' writings, as well as the research of a number of resident students who obtained degrees at the university and wrote books on light and color frequencies. A small workshop made pendulums and generators for dowsing. University of the Trees became one of the largest employers in the San Lorenzo Valley and leased more than 10 buildings in Boulder Creek for housing students and warehousing for Light Force, a burgeoning nutrition brand based on spirulina. From this base in California, <mask> extended his invitation to a pantheon of visiting scientists, writers, philosophers and scholars. <mask> founded an experimental laboratory, managed by physicist Dr. Robert Massy, to develop his theories on the electro vibratory body.George de la Warr donated a large amount of his research files to <mask> before he died.

The same principles of solving differences between individuals, political parties and even nations that <mask> had debated with Adlai Stevenson, Nehru and Luis Kutner were the basis of the process he developed called "Creative Conflict."The emergence of democracy in the Soviet Republics was one of the things <mask> focused on during the seventies and eighties. Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush gave awards to <mask> for his humanitarian support for victims of oppression. More than $9 million worth of spirulina products was donated by the Christopher Hills Foundation. Afghan freedom fighter Ahmad Shah Masoud's mujahadeen troops as well as Tajik and Pashtun tribals were starving when the Soviet Union occupied Afghanistan, <mask> learned from his friends in Peshawar. <mask> donated and shipped $300,000 worth of spirulina, which was packed in by mules with help from Senator Charlie Wilson to sustain the Afghans.

The two men had a spiritual connection.The conflict in the country was closer to a democratic solution than any other president had. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam had split and in 1993 a group assassinated one of their own in a suicide bombing that killed 23 people. The authors of the book, Food from Sunlight, had a vision of feeding the world from lakes, seas and backyard aquaculture and in 1975, they published all their research as open source for the world to use in the cause against global famine and malnutrition. Microalgae International invested in research and technology to find a super food. The cellular structure of chlorella was too small to be collected without expensive machines. They discovered that women at Lake Chad were making dihé, a sun-baked biscuit, while Dr. Nakamura was living at Centre House. After studying the lakes of Africa, <mask> and Dr Nakamura developed seed culture for a strain of 70% protein algae called spirulina that they had collected from Lake Aranguachi in Ethiopia.At the invitation of the Minister of Trade for the Ethiopia Revolutionary Government, Dr <mask> went to Lake Chiltu in 1981 to hybridize an optimal strain for commercial cultivation. <mask> funded much of the early experimentation needed for its successful modern day mass cultivation, which was described in the book Spirulina: Food for a Hungry World. The Light Force company in Santa Cruz, California was one of the early models for multi-level marketing. The success story of weight loss and health benefits from spirulina was featured in The National Enquirer. Light Force sold millions of dollars propelling it to 50,000 distributors. There are joint ventures with Koor Foods in Eilat, Israel, Aqua Taiwan in Taipei, and Sosa Texcoco in Mexico. <mask> had an association with Cyanotech on the Big Island of Hawaii which grew a very pure brand of spirulina.Light Force imported more than 5,000 tons of spirulina a year by 1995. <mask> built raceway ponds on a 150-acre farm in Desert Hot Springs, California, to encourage domestic research and production. The world's first solar heated dryer was used to make desert-grown spirulina into a powder. <mask> built a home/laboratory on a mountain in the redwoods of Boulder Creek, California, dedicated to researching neutraceuticals and as a gathering place, while a staff of 40 ran the Southern California "Green Gold Farms," harvesting its own U.S.-grown spirulina for Light Three years after moving to the new home, <mask> lost his "divine mother" to Alzheimer's and the many who had seen her as the "divine mother" were moved to tears.

title: Françoise Hardy

texts: <mask> was born on 17 January 1944 in France. Since her debut, she has been an important figure in French pop music, with over thirty studio albums released. She rose to prominence in the early 1960s as a leading figure of the yy wave, a genre of pop music and associated youth culture phenomenon that adapted to French the pop and rock styles that came from the United States and the United Kingdom. The singer differentiated herself from her peers by writing her own material, a rare feat in an industry dominated by older, male composers and producers. France's most exportable female singer of the era, <mask>, rose to international fame and released music in English, Italian and German, as well as her native French. She was a supporting actress in the films Une balle Au cur and Chteau en Sude, but never pursued a serious acting career. She established herself as a pop and fashion icon with the aid of photographer Jean-Marie Périer, becoming a muse for top designers such as Paco Rabanne.In the English-speaking world, her trendy public image and personal style led her to become an icon for the Swinging London scene, and attracted the admiration of several famous artists. She was one of the best-selling singers in French history after the height of her career in the 1960s. Her work has been critiqued. Born and raised in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, <mask> had a troubled childhood marked by the strict upbringing of her single mother and a largely absent father. As a teenager, she discovered English-language rock and roll performers including Elvis Presley and Brill Building pop acts such as Paul Anka through the radio and decided to pursue a singing career. One of her most popular compositions is the hit song "Tous les garons et les filles", which she made her musical debut in 1962 on French label Disques Vogue. She began to record in London in 1964 because she was dissatisfied with the production of her early releases.Although this implied less commercial repercussion, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, <mask> sought to assert herself as an artist. Comment te diredieu, La question and Message personnel are among her most influential and critically acclaimed works. Serge Gainsbourg, Patrick Modiano,Michel Berger and Catherine Lara were some of the renowned writers that <mask> began to work with. Gabriel Yared produced a number of successful albums, including Star, musique saole, Gin Tonic and  suivre. She returned eight years later with Le danger, which completely reinvented her sound to a harsher alternative rock, despite her 1988 record being widely publicized as her final album. Her albums of the 2000s saw a return to her mellow style. Her shyness, disgruntlement with celebrity life, and self-deprecatory attitude are attributed to her lifelong struggles with anxiety and insecurity.Since the 1970s, <mask> has written extensively on the subject of astrology, having been a supporter of the "conditionalist" school of thought, which rejects divinatory use of the discipline. She has written both fiction and non-fiction books, including a bestselling autobiography and two essays. She has been noted for her frankness in discussing her family life and health problems related to MALT lymphoma and old age, as well as her sometimes controversial political ideas. She received the Grande médaille de la chanson franaise in recognition of her career in music. The 50th anniversary of her music career and the release of her first novel, Personne d'autre, brought her out of the music business. She and Jacques Dutronc have a son, Thomas, who is also a musician. She would not be able to sing again due to the effects of cancer therapy.The Marie-Louise Clinic in the 9th arrondissement of Paris was occupied by the Nazis during World War II. There was an air raid alert in place at the time of her birth. She developed an abnormal anxious temperament as an adult because she was born during violent times. Franoise and Michle were raised by their mother as a single parent. Her father tienne Dillard, a married man who came from a wealthy family, did little to help them financially and was largely an absent figure in their upbringing, only visiting the children a couple of times a year. Madeleine's daughters were raised in a modest apartment on the Rue d'Aumale street. He had an unhappy and troubled childhood, and was mainly engaged in solitary activities like reading, playing with dolls or listening to the radio.The girls went to a Catholic school under the guidance of the Trinitarian nuns. She was humiliated by the gap of social origin between her and her classmates. She said that the feeling of shame that has been tormenting her since she was a child is most likely here. The social status of my parents who I naively believed were divorced, the good sisters' constant complaints that my father was generally a year behind in his payments, and the various differences with the other girls all fell into place. Her maternal grandmother in Aulnay-sous-Bois told her many times that she was unattractive and a bad person. The Austrian baron encouraged her mother's new lover to send her and her sister to Austria every summer to learn German. As a very young child, she was encouraged to receive piano lessons, but she quickly dropped out after experiencing stage fright when she was supposed to display her talents onstage at the Salle Gaveau.In 1960, at the age of sixteen, she passed her baccalauréat after skipping two years of secondary education. To mark the occasion, her father asked her what gift she would like and she chose a guitar, which she began to sing. She was ordered by her mother to enroll in the Paris Institute of Political Studies. She left the institution and joined the Sorbonne to study German. She used the time left from her courses to compose music. She performed every Thursday in front of an audience of retirees at the Moka Club. She was looking for a record label when she read an ad in France-Soir.She held the attention of the directors for longer than she expected. She felt encouraged after hearing her recorded voice, which she found to be less off-key and incomprehensible than she had feared. The aspiring singer was recommended to take singing lessons. Le Petit Conservatoire de la chanson was the first of its kind in France and led by singer Mireille Hartuch. The Petit Conservatoire was turned into a popular TV show in June 1960 after being launched as a radio program in 1955. When a student gave a good performance, they were given the chance to release it on the radio or perform it again on television. The first time Franoise entered the classroom, I didn't know if she sang, if she played guitar, what she was doing, I just looked and felt like there.They developed a friendship based on mutual esteem. After auditioning for the French label Disques Vogue, she was recommended to take music theory and harmony lessons with a pianist. Her good looks impressed Vogue sound engineer André Bernot, who offered to teach her some rudiments of music theory in order to improve her sense of rhythm. Jacques Wolfsohn, the most influential director at Vogue, received a four-track demo from Bernot. Wolfsohn was looking for a female singer to record "Oh oh chéri", a French-language version of Bobby Lee Trammell's song "Uh Oh". After auditioning in person, Wolfsohn immediately offered her a one-year contract. One of the most popular French TV extracts of all time was when Mireille Hartuch presented her student at the Petit Conservatoire TV show on February 6, 1962, after learning of <mask>'s new record deal.The hostess asked the young singer what the English language was like. Yes! She performed "La fille et toi" on her guitar. According to an article published in Le Monde on July 7, 1963, sociologist Edgar Morin analyzed the burgeoning youth-led pop music scene. The success of the magazine of the same name as well as the popular radio program Salut les copains led to the creation of the yé-yé phenomenon. In May 1962, Vogue released her first extended play, which included "Oh oh chéri", along with her own compositions "Il est parti un jour" and "J'suis d'accord". The singer shared the record sleeve at the Petit Conservatoire.The black-and-white music video for "Tous les garons et Les filles" was directed by Pierre Badel and aired on the TV show Toute la chanson. Despite Wolfsohn's reluctance to promote it, the song was chosen by the show's producers. On the evening of October 28, 1962, the clip was rebroadcast during a portion of the televised results of the presidential election referendum, when it was introduced to the large majority of French people. The exposure propelled the song to widespread popularity among young people, especially teenage girls, thanks to the wide airplay it received by radio stations. The Scopitone music video shows the singer in an amusement ride with two girls whose skirts are lifted up by the wind. The first album in Vogue's debut studio album, Tous les garons et les filles, was compiled along with two more EPs after the song's success. In France, the format of the album was initially viewed with skepticism, so the first series of albums were compilations of previously released four-track, 7-inch records.Most of her full-length records were released without a title and only her name on the cover, coming to be referred to by the title of their most popular song. Her debut studio album was awarded the Trophée de la Télévision, as well as the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque award. She said it would have made her even more happy if she had received it later. On May 11, 1962, she made her debut as a live performer at the Disco Revue in Nancy. She had a successful tour in Southern France from late 1962 to early 1963. Two and a half million copies of "Tous le garons et le filles" were sold in France in the following months. "J'suis daccord", "Le temps de l'amour" and "Tous les garons et Les filles" were the top French singles' chart between 1962 and 1963.In January 1963, she graced the cover of Paris Match in a special article devoted to the "new millionaires of song" and she signed a new five-year contract with Vogue. The three biggest idols of the yé-yé era were the three people who appeared on the TV show in February 1963. She opened for Richard Anthony at the prestigious Olympia concert venue in Paris on the third of that month. The Gala des Stars concert tour was held between February 26 and April 10. Between two of the tour's dates, she represented Monaco at the Eurovision Song Contest in London, singing "; she finished fifth with 25 points, level with France's Alain Barrire. Reached no. In June 1963, 5 were in the French charts.Her second studio album was released in October. At the Grand Gala du Disque in Scheveningen, Netherlands, she received the "Youth" Edison Award. Godfried Bomans praised her as a "creative artist" that knew how to impose a personal style without trying to imitate the Americans. The press had previously criticized her live performances, but between November and December of 1963, she once again performed as Anthony's opening act and was well received by the press. She became the country's most exportable female singer because she was a leading figure of the yé-yé craze. In 1963, translated re-recordings of "Tous le garons et le filles" began to be exported to Italian, German and English-speaking markets. Italy, where the song became "Quelli della mia et" and sold 255,000 copies, was the first foreign-language country where the singer found success.She recorded new songs in Milan at the end of the summer and included them in the Italian release. "L'et dell'amore" topped the Italian charts. The fourth Great Gala of the Sedera Espaola was held in Barcelona, Spain, on 11 October. In November 1963, she embarked on her first tour of Italy. In late 1963, the singer traveled to Lisbon to appear on several TV shows. At the peak of the British Invasion phenomenon, the poor quality of French studios and sound engineers made it difficult for her to record her songs at Pye Records' studios in London. She recorded a cover of "Catch a Falling Star" and three other versions of her hits in February 1964, working with producer Tony Hatch.She promoted "Catch a Falling Star" on Ready Steady Go! English audiences initially preferred her recordings in French, with "Tous le garons et le filles" entering the UK Singles Chart on 1 July 1964 at number thirty-six. "All Over the World" reached the Top 20 in the United Kingdom and stayed in the charts for fifteen weeks. Her most popular recording was probably in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. She promoted the song with performances on British TV shows Ready Steady Go!, Ollie and Fred's Five O'Clock Club, Thank Your Lucky Stars and Top of the Pops. Kapp was able to distribute her records in the United States after she flew to New York City to sign a record deal. The "Yeh-Yeh" Girl From Paris!, as well as the single "However Much", an English-language version of the previously released track "Et mme...", were released by the label.She performed "However Much", a bilingual version of "Que reste-t-il de nos amours", on American television for the first time. There is a rendition of "The Girl from Ipanema". A series of staged musical performances directed by Truck Branss made the singer famous overnight in Germany. The album In Deutschland contained translated versions of her previous songs, as well as five original compositions. "Frag' den Abendwind" remained in the national singles' chart for twenty-four weeks. She reached the finals of the Sanremo Music Festival in 1966 with the Edoardo Vianello-penned song "Parlami di te", despite being pressured by her French and Italian record companies.

texts: singers were going to want to be more and more independent. He suggested that I create a production house. The CEO of Vogue, Léon Cabat, was also in this production company and owned the majority of the shares. This has led to a lot of lawsuits. The first album produced under Asparagus was released in 1967. In June 1967, she gave her last three live performances.The second English-language album, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and Loving, was recorded in the spring of 1968, on the advice of English producer Noel Rodgers. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, she sought to assert herself as an artist, but this implied less commercial repercussion than she had achieved with Disques Vogue. The singer signed a three-year contract with Sonopresse, a subsidiary of Hachette, after breaking up with the label. She founded her own music publishing company and created a new production company. She was able to finance her own projects because of the high advances she received from Sonopresse. She said this was the happiest time of her life as she was able to work independently on her music. Franoise, the French release, and the studio albums One-Nine-Seven-Zero, recorded in English, were released in 1970.In the spring of 1970, her first French studio album was released. There were many arrangers, including Bernard Estardy, Jean-Claude Vannier, Jean-Pierre Sabar, Mick Jones, Saint-Preux, Simon Napier-Bell, and Tommy Brown from Nero and the Gladiators. The Italian-language single "Lungo il mare" was written by Giuseppe Torrebruno, Luigi Albertelli and Donato Renzetti. The next Italian single, which included translated versions of "Soleil" and "Le crabe", did not achieve success. She recorded a song in Spanish for the first time. The Patrick Dewaere-penned single "T'es pas poli" was released in the spring of 1971, reaching out to the singer-songwriter after being impressed with his performances at the Café de la Gare in Paris. Dewaere and the singer performed the song on television.The record did not sell as well as expected. After meeting Tuca, a Brazilian singer and guitarist based in Paris, they became close friends. After seeing the music of Brazil at the Festival Internacional da Cano, <mask> decided to make an album with a Brazilian musician. It was the first time in the singer's career that she was able to work with a writer on a song before entering the studio. The singles "Le martien", "Mme sous la pluie" and "Rve" were used to promote the album. Although it was highly acclaimed by the French press, the album sold poorly in comparison to other works by the singer, as it received little promotion on television, and failed to gain traction on radio stations and among audiences at the time. Since its release, La question has generated a dedicated cult following and is considered to be <mask>'s artistic peak.The singer said in 2008 that he had never been as proud of one of his records as he was of La question. This album seems to me to be more "classier" and "sophisticated" than my previous efforts, and while it did not enjoy great success with the public at large, at least I can claim that it did touch another audience. An ambitious record can be ignored when it's released but still have a long life. Some of the artists who played on it were not in a position to wait twenty years to feed themselves. Even though creating songs is a very particular life choice, one that involves accepting natural selection and precarious employment, I became more concerned about this situation as time went on. After the poor commercial performance of La question, she enlisted Tony Cox to produce her next album. The orange album was released in 1972 and was promoted through the single "La berlue" in June.The English-language release If You Listen included cover versions of several little-known American and British songs. Thanks to the success of Comment te dire adieu, the Sonopresse period started off well. She still considered her best albums by far, despite the commercial failure of La question. Her contract was not renewed by the record label. The singer was unbothered by the poor sales and felt vindicated by her work. After being impressed by his work with Véronique Sanson, <mask> contacted Berger with the intention of working with him. Berger agreed to produce and arrange her next album, but was unable to write all of its music due to other obligations.He wrote two of the record's twelve songs, "Message personnel" and "Premire rencontre", and took responsibility for finding the other ten immediately after, which he felt were subpar in comparison. The singer was working under a demanding producer after a period of artistic independence. Berger was described as a man in a hurry, with a thousand things to do, a thousand things to think about, and a thousand people to see. The recording sessions for the album took place in July of 1973. The message personnel was released on Warner Bros. Records and was greeted with commercial and critical success. The singer's career was resuscitated by the title track's commercial success in France. She promoted the project with appearances on several French TV shows.She wrote ten songs about a common, underlying story. In order to put the words into music, she relied on her friends Catherine and Gérard, as well as Jean-Pierre and André Georget. The concept album was released in 1974 and was promoted through the songs "Ce soir", "Je te cherche" and "Il y a eu des nuits". It was a failure. Between 1975 and 1976, the singer released two singles, but stayed away from music and devoted more time to raising her child. The first one was written by Jean-Michel Jarre. It sold poorly."Femme parmi les femmes", the main theme of Claude Lelouch's film Si c'était  refaire, features lyrics by Pierre Barouh and music by Francis Lai. Berger wanted to sign her to his new record label Apache and she sent him three songs, "Ton enfance", "Star" and "L'impasse". Berger gave up the idea of joining the label because she wanted to release an album with compositions structured around a unifying concept. She signed a three-year contract. In 1977's Star, her first album under Pathé-Marconi, she enlisted Gabriel Yared as a producer and arranger. The songs written by Serge Gainsbourg, William Sheller and Luc Plamondon are included in the "patchwork album". Their relationship was tense at first, and Star was recorded under a "strained atmosphere", which earned her the nickname "ice queen".According to Frédéric Quinonero, the singer decided to get rid of any misunderstanding, physical or sentimental before being integrated into a faithful friendship. A new generation of young people were introduced to the singer's work after Star was a commercial success. Despite their poor relationship in the studio, <mask> and Yared continued to work together and record five albums. In 1991, the singer recalled her work with the producer: Gabriel is demanding, rigorous and, consequently, disturbing, destabilizing, in work as in friendship. He had a lot of power over me. The five albums we made together were not easy, there were even tensions on the verge of breaking up, but I consider that it was one of the great chances of my life to find myself again under the guidance of a musician of this dimensions. Her 1978 follow-up was called musique saole.The success of the lead single "J'coute de la musique saoule" helped the album change its musical direction to a more danceable sound. It was promoted through intensive televised appearances, which showed the singer "awkwardly" performing the track among a dancing crowd. Yared and Bernard Ilous worked on a more commercial album after the success of "J'écoute de la musique saoule" with young people. The album cover was designed to present a "furiously modern" image of the singer and was photographed by a French magazine. The only singles that achieved modest commercial success were "Jazzy rétro Satanas" and "Juke-box". Despite reduced sales and mixed reviews, the singer's respectability remained intact and she was invited as a distinguished guest in Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier's TV show in 1980. The album  suivre was released in 1981 in violation of the contract with Pathé-Marconi.Yared enlisted composers Louis Chedid, Pierre Groscolas, Jean-Claude Vannier,Michel Bernholc, Daniel Perreau, and Jean-Pierre Bourtayre for her new songs. suivre was promoted through two singles, the first of which achieved commercial success. Serge Gainsbourg photographed the album cover of the 1981 album "Qulqu'un qui s'en va". On 2 May 1988, Décalages was released. It was promoted as a commercial success and was certified gold for selling a hundred thousand copies. The song "Fais-moi une place" was written by the singer in 1990 and was included in his album of the same name. In December 1994 she signed a contract with Virgin Records.The French version of "To the End" was recorded in 1995 at Abbey Road Studios. The single "Country House" included it as a B-side. In 1997, <mask> collaborated with French duo Air in the track "Jeanne", which was included as a B-side to their single "Sexy Boy". She received the Grand Prize for her album in 2000. The Female Artist of the Year award was given to <mask> in 2005. She received the Grande médaille de la chanson franaise award in recognition of her music career. Her 50th anniversary in music was celebrated in 2012 with the release of her first novel and album L'Amour fou.After being diagnosed with laryngeal cancer, the singer declared it her last album, but returned nearly five years later with the release of Personne d'autre. In March 2021, she said that she couldn't sing because of her cancer treatments. Although journalists take note of her film roles, she never embarked on a serious career as an actress nor wished to do so. She accepted several acting roles on the advice of Jean-Marie Périer. I didn't understand how I could turn down offers from well-known film directors. I preferred music to cinema. While cinema is about playing a part, music andchanson allow you to go deeper into yourself and how you feel.She made her film debut in Roger Vadim's Chteau en Sude. Before casting her, Vadim tested her abilities as an actress by directing her in a reading of a love letter to a man. The shooting of the film marked the beginning of her dread for filming sessions and the movie business in general, as she did not get along well with the director during the making of Chteau en Sude, who mocked her for her "infinite apathy". At the film festival, she wore a coat by Pierre Cardin. The 1966 film Une balle Au cur, which was filmed on location in a remote Greek island, was written and directed by Jean-Daniel Pollet. She said that she felt like she was at the other end of the world when she realized that the director's film was a disaster. I ragazzi dell'Hully Gully was one of the films in which she appeared as a performer.Monte Carlo: C'est La Rose was hosted by Grace Kelly. As she was leaving a London club in the 1960's, American director John Frankenheimer spotted her and thought she would be perfect as one of the characters in Grand Prix, a film he was developing about Formula One auto racing. She agreed because the film's big-budget production offered her a large remuneration, despite being disinterested in acting. In Jean-Luc Godard's 1966 film Masculin fminin, the singer wore a head-to-toe look, including his famous white boots. In 1969 she starred in the television film L'homme qui venait du Cher. She appeared in two films in the 70s, Les Colombes and Si c'était  refaire. He has written extensively on the subject and developed a career as an astrologer.She agrees with the so-called "conditionalist" school of thought, which puts forward a non-divinatory character of the discipline and considers that it should be used taking into account other factors. She has written about her distrust of most astrologers. I believe that human science only gives information on one of the many factors that affect our lives, the one connected with the rhythms of our solar system.

She took public courses, learned to draw up a birth chart, and read many specialized books before meeting her professor who recommended her to Hardy. Madame Godefroy was the teacher of traditional astrology for two years.She became more interested in astrology when she was contacted to be part of a new magazine. The singer said that he was trained to use astrology by his side and that he was the best astrologer in the world. Alejandro Jodorowsky began the reading of the Tarot of Marseilles. She took courses with Germaine Tripier, the dean of the French Society of Graphology, as a complement to her astrological knowledge. Between recordings of her album Gin Tonic in 1979 she was asked to collaborate on a collection on the zodiac signs, being tasked with writing the book dedicated to Virgo. She shared her work with another astrologer because she had no time to write her own book. She collaborated with Quinze Ans.In 1980, Pierre Lescure of the RMC radio station contacted <mask> and asked her to give him a daily horoscope as well as a weekly show in order to aid him financially. In 1982, Anne-Marie Simmond, a graphologist who had taken her courses, created a psychological portrait of a film or music figure using their handwriting on their birth chart. The interviews and profiles of the show's guests were first published in 1986 in a book by the duo. In 1990 she continued her astrological work by writing articles in Le Matin and hosting a weekly section on Télé Zbre. Les rythmes du zodiaque was released in May of 2003 as a book that would allow her to make her little contribution to modern astrology. The process of making the book took two years and was a lot of work. In addition to writing about astrology, <mask> has become an author of both

texts: fiction and non-fiction.100,000 copies of her book were sold in France, where it became a top seller. The book was published in Spanish by an independent publisher. The English-language edition of the book was released by Feral House. Her first novel, L'amour fou, was published in 2012 in conjunction with a musical album of the same title. Thirty years before its publication, <mask> began working on a story about an obsessive romantic relationship. She agreed to release the text after being urged by her editor to do so and by her friend Jean-Marie Périer. The singer felt that it was appropriate to publish the book to mark the occasion of her fifty years of music career, as it was the story that has been the matrix of almost all of her lyrics from the start.Florence's Edizioni Clichy released the Italian-language edition of the novel. After the poor sales of albums La pluie sans parapluie and L'Amour fou, <mask> decided to dedicate herself to writing. The essay Avis non autorisés was released on ditions des quateurs in 2015, in which she expresses the difficulties of reaching her old age. In the book, she shares her views on current affairs that have been deemed politically incorrect. Avis non autorisés was a success. She published a book a year after she was hospitalized for cancer. In the early 2020s, after being unable to continue singing, <mask> dedicated herself to the making of the song book Chansons sur toi et nous.Since the beginning of her career, she has maintained a signature sound that is defined by her breathy alto vocals and penchant for melancholic songs. Rock & Folks Basile Farkas has dubbed her the "queen of melancholy", and the singer herself stated in 2012: "In music, I like above all the slow, sad melodies, that stir the knife in the wound." Not in a way that plunges, but in a way that uplifting. It feels good when the pains of feelings turn into something beautiful. I still want to find the heartbreaking melody that will make me cry. The quality of the melody gives it a special meaning. Cosette Schulz is from Exclaim!The singer was described as a master of crafting simple but stellar tracks. Writers have compared <mask>'s music to that of Faithfull. They both sing sad songs with a simple folksy style. Both of them have an almost waif-like appeal. Both of them have a dramatic, "all-alone" quality about their voices. Her delivery has been compared to that of a German singer. The recurring themes of her lyrics are sadness, personal pain, heartache, one-sided love, boredom, loneliness and confinement.The decision to leave low-quality French studios to go record in London in the mid-1960s was something that set her apart from her French peers. With alacrity, she chose the works on offer from leading professionals as she matured. She knew she was different when she was 18. She was capable of telling Charles Aznavour she didn't want to sing his song. She didn't make compromises. Tony Cox said that Franoise liked things to be more adventurous than the norm. She is not your average pop singer, that's for sure, and there was a bit of the Left Bank about her.She told Rock & Folk in 2018: "I'm not a musician, that's it." I went towards ease but also towards realism by stopping to compose. I knew that I wouldn't be able to do as well as real melodists if I did learn things. I thought it was best to bring in musicians who touched me. The one that attracts the most attention by music journalists is the one that took place in the 1960s. She told The Independent that most people don't know who she is. The proof is always being asked about the Beatles.Since the 1950s, the only music played on the radio has been French chanson singers. She said that he touches her more than the others because of his sad and light music. Barbara inspired <mask> to write her own compositions. In the early 1960s, she was introduced to English-language rock and roll and Brill Building pop through Radio Luxembourg, receiving inspiration from artists such as the Everly Brothers, the Shadows, Cliff Richard, Neil Sedaka, and especially, Elvis Presley and Paul An. "I felt completely spellbound by these foreign young artists and began to sing and play the guitar to try to imitate them." She said that she immediately identified with them because they expressed teenage loneliness and awkwardness over melodies that were more inspiring than their texts. She wrote a lot of her own material, which allowed her songs to be less sexual than her peers.She distanced herself from the other singers by "chewing the easy road of sunny, good girl pop". Jean-Marie Périer said that she was the opposite of all the French new artists trying to look and sound American. She didn't try to make them dance the twist. American girl-groups, early rockabilly, pre-Beatles British rock and roll, country music, folk-rock and, to a lesser extent, do, are just a few of the foreign artists that she covered in the 1960s. Tous le garons et le filles is the closest she was to the y-y genre and is noted for its simplicity, featuring minimalist accompaniment of acoustic and electric guitar, bass and jazz-influenced percussion. The album shows a musician that had yet to fully absorb her influences and make them her own, according to Robert Ham of Paste. "Her first record sticks out like a sore thumb", said Russell Warfield of Drowned in Sound, as he described it as the product of a patriarchal music industry.Her sophomore record, Le premier Bonheur du jour, incorporated more complex instruments and arrangements, including electric organs and "weeping" string arrangements. American girl groups such as the Crystals and the Ronettes are included in the compositions. She is highly critical of her first releases. She said that she was frustrated because she wanted to have beautiful electric guitars like those of the Shadows in the sixties. I had terrible French musicians and a terrible musical production. I went to London to record my albums. My first songs were not very interesting.In the mid-1960s, her music became lusher and richer, as she avoided the poor quality of French studios in order to record in London with Charles Blackwell, who allowed her to "reach new levels of sophistication." She told The Guardian that she was happy. I had been trapped in mechanical music, but I was free to make another kind of music. The second half of the decade incorporated influences from the British Invasion pop phenomenon and a strong comeback of the traditional values of French chanson, but rather romantic. Mon amie la rose showcased a growing complexity in her music, with stronger vocals and increased experimentation in song structure. Her most varied album yet incorporated influences of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique as well as Ennio Morricone. In 1965, and 1966, her productions moved from the tinny sound of yeh-yeh pop into a fuller brand of rock arrangements.Her follow-up L'amitié has a more expansive sound. According to Hazel Cills, "It wasn't until her fifth record La maison o j'ai grandi that she grew into a more grown-up, baroque sound, one that matched the depth of her sorrow and its complexities." Warfield thought that the album in which she really settles into her sound gave us a glimpse of the performer we can still recognise as 70 years old.

Comment te dire adieu is more MOR-oriented than her previous releases. Franoise's music was thought to be sadder and more sentimental than the norm.She reinvented herself as an elusive folk rock jazz chanteuse with her early 1970s releases. The singer looked for a more mature and less-pop oriented style in an effort to reflect her inner self. The 1971 album La question is considered to be an important turning point in her career, moving towards a less commercial sound with no apparent hooks. It is one of her most sparse efforts, with subdued and acoustic-flavored arrangements that feature guitar, touches of bass, and subtle orchestration. The album is influenced by bossa nova music through the work of Brazilian guitarist and arranger Tuca. Her vocals have been called "sultry" and "breathy", at times, "substituting melodic humming in the place of singing, wordlessly articulate the emotional essence of the song." It was the first time that she had a part in choosing the arrangements of her work.Following the poor commercial performance of La question, <mask> leaned towards a more folk and rock influenced sound. She championed the work of Nick Drake in interviews around this time. She said that his style was different from that of The Beatles, the Stones and other groups that she was listening to. It is the soul that comes out of his songs that touched me the most. The melancholy of the whole thing is added to by the individual timbre of his voice. According to Tom Pinnock, there are similarities between Nick Drake and Tom Pinnock. The English musician would write an album of songs for her, which would be produced by Tony Cox.Drake and <mask> met a number of times, but the project was never carried out. If You Listen was recorded in 1971 and featured a "crack team" of British folk-rock musicians. Influenced by Drake, the album features "cinematic" arrangements that emphasize the acoustic guitar and light strings. The orange album was released in reference to its cover which incorporated influences from American blues, folk and rock music. It was atypical for the singer to have a funny tone and catchier rhythms on the album. Véronique Sanson's debut album made a huge impact on <mask>, who felt her own music was "very outdated". The quality of Sanson's singing and lyrics made other French singers seem like hasbeens, she said in her autobiography.It was as if the English and American influences that yy had been happy to copy with varying degrees of success had been thoroughly digested and allowed for the emergence of something much more musically mature, as well as more personal. The producer of Sanson's album was enlisted to oversee the production of her 1973 album Message personnel, which features arrangements byMichel Bernholc, who directed a basic rock band backed by a lush set of strings. The album's sad, introspective mood and "classy, adult tone" are what it is characterized by. The 1974 release ENTr'acte was the first attempt at a concept album by <mask>, with lyrics that narrate "the successive phases of a one-night stand between a stranger and a young woman, who, abandoned by the man she loves, is looking to give him a taste of The arrangements for Cat Stevens' Tea for the Tillerman and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road were composed by Del Newman. A jazz-oriented pop record, 1977's Star was the first album arranged by Gabriel Yared, who would produce her output for the next ten years. In 1978, as disco dominated the music industry, his team sought to adapt her sound to the era with the release of Musique saole.The singer said that she felt embarrassed when singing over danceable rhythms. The 1988 album is known for its atmospheric sound. Despite the singer's wishes to avoid fashionable digital sounds in favor of an acoustic album, it incorporated the use of a Synclavier synthesizer. Le danger was her first album in seven years and was inspired by the alternative rock scene. She incorporated influences from Portishead and other bands. Jazz Monroe's music was described as "adult-contemporary space rock". The singer's personal life was very dark at that time and the album's harsh sound and lyrics reflect that.The commercial failure of Le danger led to the return of her soft and light style in her second album, released in 2000. Her last five albums have an elegant and melancholic sound. 2006's (Parenthses...) is a collection of twelve duets with a production that keeps tricks and mixing slick-ery to a clean minimum, drawing comparisons to previous releases such as La question. Compared to previous albums, 2010's La pluie sans parapluie features a "sunnier" sound, with a few of its songs being driven by a typical rhythm track of drums and bass, rather than by piano or strings. Her 2012 album L'amour fou is characterized by its "resigned, philosophical" mood. The music is backed by pianos and drums. The lyrics of her last album, Personne d'autre, deal with her old age and her own mortality, having survived a major health crisis after the release of her previous record.The wear and tear on her vocals come from her ilness. The singer's delicate and intimate sound is contrasted with the dark subject matter of Personne d'autre. Observers have emphasized her shyness and reservedness, as well as her anti-social nature as a celebrity, in her public image. She has talked about her struggles with anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness and inferiority complex in interviews. Tom Pinnock said that her refusal to play the showbusiness game made her something of an icon. The singer's sudden celebrity status made her uncomfortable, she claimed in 2011. I didn't enjoy being taken up by fashion houses.To be admired too much is not a normal situation. I don't like that at all. It's not me that you're talking about, it's me that I'm not comfortable with my professional life. She stopped performing live in 1968 because of stage fright. Her public image and style during the 1960s made an impact on international pop culture, something that overshadowed her skills as a singer outside of France. Jean-Marie Périer became a Pygmalion-like figure for her, transforming the singer's public image from a shy, gauche-looking schoolgirl to a modern young trend-setter. She wrote, "Périer tried to open my mind and help me in all domains with his characteristic generosity."He taught me to love the cinema by bringing me to see great films, and I realized the importance of Aesthetics, which became one of my major criteria. He taught me how to dress and carry myself. She became a star of the
