What about Léo Ferré and Barbara ?

Interesting. Reading your post I realize that, with the exception of Barbara, these singers tended to put message ahead of music, the latter often consisting of simple acoustic guitar strumming. I doubt Georges Brassens knew more than three chords 😃 Ok, maybe I exaggerate. A little

This is a French musical genre whose heart is, I think, closer to spoken word and poetry than to musical performance, and there is a lot of writing talent among them.

Barbara was great.

@baylinor yes, Nino Ferrer, a thousand times. Such a loss he chose to end his days.

You are right for Brassens who was the poet rapper of my childhood...

Pure  rebellious but amicable simple poetry like Villon in his times...

You are wrong for Barbara whose melody are sometimes beautiful...

You are dead wrong for Ferré whose poetry of Verlaine,Rimbaud,Baudelaire  put in music was almost symphonic...

Ferré studied music and even directed orchestra at Monaco...

I listen to him now for 62 years, he is the only  male singer i listened to...( i adore Louis Armstrong)

I prefer to most popular singing classical, jazz and world music...

I am in love with choral music and lieds...(few operas)

I apologise to correct you. Dont takes it badly i appreciated your posts...

 My best to you ...

No worries, it's all good!

I did say I liked Barbara, however, so there was no need to correct me there :)
