Charles Aznavour (1924–2018) was a French-Armenian singer-songwriter and actor, internationally known for songs such as "La Bohème" and for a long, prolific career in chanson and popular music.

Of Armenian origins; sang in multiple languages (including French, English, Italian, Armenian and Russian); was decorated with the Légion d'honneur.

Notable Quotes

❝ Charles Aznavour is a French singer-songwriter of Armenian origins known worldwide, also because he sings in five languages (French, English, Italian, Armenian, Russian).
❝ That's why I listen to the Armenian Aznavour’s records sung in Italian, and go drop dead.
