Francoise Hardy - Destination Moon Edition

The esteemed French singer and actress Françoise Hardy achieved an international breakthrough as a teenager in the early 1960s as a prominent artist of the Yé-Yé movement, blending the sentimental chanson style with rock elements of the British ‘Beat’ groups. Her self-titled debut album, released by Disques Vogue in 1963, was applauded by Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan, among others, following the outstanding success of the melancholic lead single ‘Tout Les Garçons Et Les Fils’; since the rock element would soon wane in her work, this outstanding debut is the one to reach for to understand her dramatic early impact.
