The Rolling Stones "She's A Rainbow" (1967) SUZANNE RACHEL FLORE LENGLEN
More than just playing, she danced. She won, she enchanted, but above all, she had charisma and personality. Diva, Divine, Icon of rebellion, a true forerunner of rockstars. She won everything, set new trends, challenged the queen, lived life to the fullest, dying young like those cherished by the Gods.
Decades before rock’n’roll, she anticipated its spirit, demons, uproar, and revolution. In eight years, she lost only one match due to extraordinary circumstances, winning eighty-one singles titles, seventy-three in doubles, and eight in mixed doubles, along with two Olympics.
But “La Divine” shocked the world with her behaviors. Unconcerned with scandal, she casually drank her beloved brandy during changeovers, adopted a wardrobe that could only be described as provocative for the time, flaunted her tan at a time when women were expected to be pale...
But what am I even trying to explain to you, about someone who revolutionized everything and is barely remembered... in the face of those ridiculous little robots of today.
Clerici, yes, often remembered her...
Read if you don’t know her; you will love her madly.
Signed, IlConte... moved...
