She - Charles Aznavour

When Frenchmen speak English, it's always hilarious. And even on this classic recording by Charles Aznavour, you can't help but grin at the heavy French accent in this beautiful little song. 'She' was released in 1974 and reached number 1 in the UK singles chart and number 18 in the Dutch Top 40. The single did not have any success in the USA or France. Anavour also recorded the song in French, Italian, Spanish and German.

The British duo Vegas recorded a great cover version of 'She' on their eponymous and only album, released in 1992.
