Claude François was one of the most popular French singer of all time. He died of pulmonary edema on March 11, 1978 in Paris, after being electrocuted in his bathroom while standing in his water-filled bath trying to straighten out a loose fitting lamp holder. His almost maniacal sense of order and punctuality had become fatal to him.

Look up "Setup VPN" which offers a free limited service as a Virtual Private Network. I am able to see these videos via their United Kingdom channel. I am not able to see Australian only videos though because it does not have an Australian free channel.

Don't want to burst your bubble Pedro. Chanson D'Amour was written by American Wayne Shanklin in 1958. It does have the 3 French words in it that in English is "Song of Love". I used to hear this song a lot on a easy listening radio station when I was growing up. Usually it was the one sung by the Lennon Sisters accompanied by the Lawrence Welk Orchestra.

This clip and final scene from La vie en Rose is worth a view imho especially if you have’t seen the film. My nose would not stop running near the end. Edith Piaf gave some excellent advice near the end of her 47 year life (liver cancer.)
Here is a song in French by Belgian singer song writer Lara Fabian
I Love You (Je t'aime)
I admit (~okay), there existed Other ways for us to leave each other A few shards of glass Might have helped us In this bitter silence I decided to forgive The mistakes we can make Loving to much
I admit often the little girl In me requested you Almost like a mother You tucked me in, protected me I stole from you this blood That we never should have shared Lost for words, for dreams I will scream
I love you, I love you Like a fool, like a soldier Like a movie star I love you, I love you Like a wolf, like a king Like a man that I am not You see, I love you like that
I admit I confided in you All my smiles, all my secrets Even those for which only a brother Is the undeclared guardian In this house of stone Satan was watching us dance I so wanted a war Of bodies that made the peace to each other
