more random European music from me - ignore if you will

[floatingleaf]

I can't believe myself lately. I get those weird bouts of nostalgia over the most unexpected things. Like a random pop hit from the seventies that I can vaguely recall hearing as a child. So I go on YouTube and look for it, and somehow end up developing an intense fascination with a woman older than my mother. LOL. Yes, I have established a new record. This is officially the oldest celebrity I ever had a crush on.:D I'm talking about Marie Laforet. Does the name ring a bell to anyone? She's an actress as well as a singer - though I never saw her in a movie that I can recall - and Wikipedia says she was born in 1939. Wow. And here's one of her 'greatest hits' that somehow never left my brain for the 30 years or so since I first heard it. I am really curious if anyone on my flist remembers that song (some Europeans might, I suppose).

So, does everyone agree that French can sound terribly sexy?...;) How about some Spanish with a French accent?... Because then I found this clip, and it floored me:

Seriously. I am hypnotized by those eyes... LOL. And just in case you thought her glory was long past - here's the most recent clip I've found. If I'm doing my math right, she's 59 in it. Now, wouldn't you just sell your soul to the devil to look that good at 59?... I know I would.:P

And with that, I bid you good night.:D

You're very welcome, darling. And you're probably too young to remember that song anyway.;)

*takes a closer look at your icon*

OMG you have the lyrics to Silence in there! How cool is that?... I LOVE Delerium.:D

Yes, yes! Me too! I discovered them because of this the Sarah McLachlan connection, but oh, they're excellent. I do not have enough of their music. This must be rectified. Anyway, I adore this icon. It's one of my oldest and one of my favourites. ♥
