Talk:Françoise Hardy

Untitled/Self-Titled Albums

When listing her discography, shouldn't it be mentioned that all but five of her albums up to 1972 were officially untitled? The titles displayed are colloquial, not official. Holidayruin (talk) 16:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Astrologer? Is this some kind of weird vandalism? Jamrifis (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Apparently not. French Wikipédia talks about it in more detail (re 1969):

Son temps libre est mis à profit pour suivre des cours de psychologie puis elle se tourne vers l'astrologie traditionnelle. Son intérêt dans ce domaine est vite connu et elle reçoit rapidement des propositions de travail qu’elle accepte pour se perfectionner auprès d’astrologues confirmés.

She took advantage of her free time to take courses in psychology then turned to traditional astrology. Her interest in the field soon became known, and she quickly received job offers which she accepted in order to improve her knowledge by being with established astrologers.

Radio Luxembourg

Radio Luxembourg isn't a British radio station, as the text claims. However, during the 1930s it started beaming English-language popular music to the UK during the evenings, funded by advertising and sponsorship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.108.145.34 (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I was misled on that as Francoise called it a "British radio station" in the BBC interview. I've changed it to "English Language". Richerman (talk) 21:01, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Shyness vs. Introversion

I don't think "shy" is in any way the correct term for this woman who is a performer and actor. If she can do that but still prefers to read in bed she may be considered an introvert but she's certainly not shy. Ikuto.yagawa (talk) 22:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Françoise Hardy in 1969

• ... that during the 1960s, Françoise Hardy (pictured) was France's most exportable female singer? Source: Radio France Internationale. Quote: "Françoise soon became France’s most "exportable" female singing star."
  • ALT1:... that during the 1960s, French singer-songwriter Françoise Hardy (pictured) was admired by musicians such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan?
• Source: El País. Quote: "Encandiló a Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan o Eric Clapton." (in English: "She dazzled Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton")
• Source: Deluxe, Yé-Yé Girls of '60s French Pop, 2015 p. 60. Quote: "Even Malcolm McLaren, the controversial Sex Pistols manager, would add to it, asserting that she represented the 'utmost of the pinup girl, pinned to the walls of every trendy pop apprentice's bedroom down in Chelsea. Many bands in their prime, like the Beatles or the Stones, dreamt of dating her."
• Source: Vogue Paris. Quote: "Bob Dylan wrote love letters to Françoise Hardy".

5x expanded by Bleff (talk). Self-nominated at 03:44, 1 June 2021 (UTC).

• A fine expansion on one of the greatest French pop singers of all time. Seems to be appropriately sourced from spot checks, and a check for copyvios comes back with false positives with song titles and brief quotations. Image is properly licensed and good quality. I prefer ALT1, which is appropriately sourced (have to AGF for book sources, both in the hook and cited in the article generally - the formatting of references is not an issue) and will make people sit up and pay attention. I've tweaked "wooed" to "admired", which is a bit milder. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Patrick Modiano

Why is novelist Patrick Modiano listed as after stating: "Hardy began to work with more renowned songwriters such as..."? Since when was he a 1960s/1970s "renowned" songwriter? He wrote the words for some songs, she sang one. Daisne (talk) 23:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
