Charles Aznavour

Musician

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.

Two DeBaser reviews cover Charles Aznavour's album L'istrione and a 'Very Best Of' compilation. Reviews note his Armenian origins, multilingual repertoire and status (Legion of Honor). Overall reception is mixed, with praise for certain songs and some harsh, personal commentary in one review.

For:Fans of classic French chanson, listeners curious about multilingual singers and 20th-century European songwriters.

 Charles Aznavour is a French singer-songwriter of Armenian origins known worldwide, also because he sings in five languages (French, English, Italian, Armenian, Russian).
