Summary: squeaky French pop superstar at her best
Comment: This is a great collection with all of her important singles.

Summary: France Gall: "Ye-Ye Girl of the 1960's"
Comment: I liked this album a lot. Though France Gall doesn't have a strong voice, she does a good job of providing some interesting singing. She was one of the "Ye-Ye" girls of the 1960's.
The "Ye-Ye Girls" were not rockers like a Nancy Sinatra or even Lesley Gore. They didn't pretend to be singers, but mostly good looking girls who tried to vocalize.
France Gall does her best work on such delights as "Sacre Charlemagne" in which she talks about the misfortune of having to go to school and blames it on Charlemagne!!
Songs like "Bebe Requin" and "Baby Pop" are a lot of fun too.
Her version of Serge Gainsbourg's "Les Sucettes" supposedly had a sexual double meaning and sports a catchy tune.
"L'Amerique" is Gall's vision of what the United States represented to French teenagers.
This is a fun album despite Gall being out-of-tune on some songs.
The recording has good sound quality and is recommended.

Summary: Fun, French and not what you find on other compilations!
Comment: They had me hooked on this France Gall collection sampling the title track sound byte when I heard "Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son" which (if it translates to another tune - my not speaking French) is a cover of one of my all-time favorite "Twinkle" tunes: "Lonely Singing Doll"! Outside of that, the other songs in this collection don't seem to be covers of anything else, so it's always pleasing to me as a collector to find some "new" material from the 60s I hadn't heard before! France Gall is (agreeably to other posters) both childlike and "Ye-Ye", but I happen to enjoy that. This collection to me doesn't let the listener down even on the lesser things.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice 60's collection
Comment: This CD contains a nice collection of France Galle's songs of the 60's. I chose it because it has some of my favorite oldies including "Laisse tomber les filles", "N'ecoute pas les idoles", and "Nous ne sommes pas des anges". But with 23 songs on one CD, it is apt to include some so-so songs, too. I enjoy France Galle's uniquely girlish delicate voice and her happy youthful style that is quite melodious.

Summary: charm
Comment: Actually, I have the 4-CD box set of which this is a selection. That's how much I like this stuff. Yeah, there are some real duds (eg "Sacre Charlemagne"), but they are easily redeemed by the rest. Creative, inventive 60's pop, perfect arrangements, and delivered in that little girl voice that some people just hate. Her pitch is a little off (noticeable because she uses no vibrato), but her sense of rhythm is impeccable. If this is 'ye-ye' music --and that's very debatable-- then it's time to rehabilitate that label. Okay, the Gainsbourg tunes are among the best, but what a shame not to look any further! (Interesting: not a single cover version here, in an era dominated by adaptations of the Anglo-American top ten.)

One of her first albums includes the Eurovision award-winning title 'Poupee de Son', composed by the late Serge Gainsbourg.
