Ye-Ye Queen by Barbora Misakova

While 1960s in America were all about Elvis Presley and the Beatles, France (as usual) was living in a different world. The spotlight was on so called Ye-ye style what was a style of pop music and its singing sensation Sylvie Vartan. She was the most productive and active artist of the ye-ye girls. She has been performing for more than 40 years now and as she says: “it is part of my life, obviously.” During her early carrier she made appearances on French and Italian TV and enjoyed full houses at the Olympia. In spite of two heavy car accidents she continued intensive performing and recording. She says there must be “passion and desire” which are the! most important things for performer and musician as they are keeping you afloat. It is also the same “burning desire” what keeps your fans to still have an interest in you and the work you do. She took a break in show business in 1984, but in 6 years she was back again to give a concert at the Palace of Culture of Sofia. Today she has a new DVD out called “Sylvie Live” which was recorded last September at the Olympia where, in the past, she played for instance with Beatles. “It feels like home to me.” she said. At the latest performance she was singing also with Johnny Hallyday, her ex-husband what was “very nice and refreshing” for her. Sylvie is currently married to American record producer Tony Scotti and even though her home is still Paris she actually has “never settled.”
