Jeanne-Paule Marie, known professionally as France Gall, was a French pop singer born on October 9, 1947, in Paris. She gained fame in the 1960s and 1970s with her catchy songs and youthful image. Her music often blended elements of yé-yé style, a popular genre in France during that era. Throughout her career, France Gall collaborated with notable songwriters, including Michel Berger, who became her husband. She achieved significant success with hits like "Poupée de cire, poupée de son," which won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965. Gall's influence on French pop music remains significant even after her passing on January 7, 2018.
