About the artist: Michel Sardou (1947) is a French singer, songwriter and occasional actor. He released dozens of albums, and is regarded as one of France's most important singers, especially of love songs. He sold tens of millions of albums and had a string of over 25 consecutive hit singles. Michel Sardou currently has one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: Une fille aux yeux claires (A girl with bright eyes) is a 1974 single that was not released on an album at the time. A lovely ballad, in which Sardou reminisces about his mother, and how he only realised from pictures that she once was young and beautiful as well, against a dominating organ accompaniment. Run time 2:41.
