Charles Aznavour was a brilliant Singer, writing over 1500 songs in 5 languages.
This beautiful ballad tells the story of the passing of a beloved woman, who family and friends gather to weep, and remember.
We send it out for any one who needs a good cry to elegant #music.
Including us.

Wow, great article- a most candid interview!
"Aznavour shone a spotlight on masculinity and libido, singing about depression, sex, prejudice and rape.
"His hits ranged from the 1970s story of a gay transvestite in What Makes a Man, to the once-banned ballad of muggy, post-coital exhaustion, Après l’Amour, and the controversial You’ve Let Yourself Go – the plea of a man whose wife has grown dowdy and fat (“I gaze at you in sheer despair and see your mother standing there”)."
