People home page.Professor says "merrie men" were making merry, but not making Maid Marian.After six decades, the man who reinvented the French chanson, composed more than 600 songs and sold more than 100 million records is still a star and one of the last classic pop stylists."My shortcomings are my voice, my height, my gestures, my lack of
culture and education, my frankness and my lack of personality."French singer and songwriter Charles Aznavour one night in
1950, drunkenly brooding over his stalled career.In doing so, he
transformed the French chanson, and created one of popular music's
singular oeuvres.He was born Varenagh Aznavourian, on May 22, 1924, in Paris.His
parents were Armenian immigrants who had fled to France after the Turkish
massacre, intending to go on from there to the United States.Frenchman of their second child,
dubbed "Charles" by a hospital nurse who couldn't pronounce his given name.Quartier
Latin and the Marais.Though they eked out their living running a restaurant,
Aznavour's parents were, by background and disposition, performing
artists.He wanted to be a chansonnier.Aznavour was hired for his first professional job later that year, a
bit part in a music hall revue.Soon, Aznavour had quit school altogether and
was on the road eight months a year, touring France and Belgium in a
theatrical troupe as a singing and dancing "boy actor."His teenage and young
adult years were like something out of a novel, a picaresque romp whose
struggles and rollicking spirit Aznavour would later capture in his wry "Mes
Emmerdes" ("My Troubles").We want to hear from you!Charles, tous mes voeux de bonheur pour 2008.TOUS MES MEILLEURS VOEUX 2008 !!!Gros bisousSarah et sa Maman.Bonjour Monsieur Aznavour merci pour l'ajout.THANKS FOR THE FRIENDSHIPGREETING FROM HOLZKIRCHENHAVE A NICE YEAR 2008my private myspacewww.Je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheurs, tant artistiques que personnels.FMF) assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan, reversing the Administration's latest bid to retreat from its 2001 pledge to maintain parity in military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan."We are troubled by the reductions in aid to Armenia and Nagorno Karabagh, particularly in light on the ongoing economic costs of the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockades, as well as Baku's increasingly violent rhetoric about restarting its war against the Armenians," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian."We thank all of our friends in the Congressional appropriations process who, working against significant competing budgetary pressures 's were able to deliver figures higher than the President's request, and also to maintain military aid parity.""Urgent Security Alert","Warning: You are submitting information to an outside site.This could be an attempt to steal your username and password.Do you wish to continue your form submission?"Id + " Link: " + targetLink.Sign in to get personalized recommendations.Look to the right column to find helpful suggestions for your shopping session.K)
For Me Formidable (115.Welcome to the TIME chat!Charles Aznavour, who has been
chosen as Entertainer of the Century by users of TIME Online from around the
globe.Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.Charles Aznavour: Thank you for having me.It's
very unusual for me, this kind of event.Charles Aznavour: I don't know.Charles Aznavour: You know, I don't really know, so that it's very difficult
for me to answer that question.Charles Aznavour: True, yes.For a young singer and writer like me, it was a fantastic opportunity to see
her singing every night.She sang in the
street, and I sang in the street, and in cafes.Charles Aznavour: I wrote seven songs for her.She used to like my way of writing, that's why she sang
some of the songs.Joe_Bob_97027 asks: What sort of influence has Edith Piaf had on your
professional life?Charles Aznavour: Well, she had a great deal of influence.She helped me to
see that I should be myself on stage, that I should not pretend to be anyone
else on stage.To be true, to be a real person.And in
conjunction with that, we have a question from online:
DARKSID24 asks: Whom did you admire when you were little?Charles Aznavour: My father was a singer.When I
started to sing, I was not happy with the songs I found for myself.From that came the writing.So I started to write about problems, and the miscommunications
between two people.Then I came to what's happening in life: homosexuality, drugs, crashes on the road, what we in French call, faits de
societe.What you can find in a few lines in the papers.That became my
mark, my style.Because the public liked to recognize
itself in the stories.As to whom I admired, I admired many people: Jolson,
Piaf, Chevalier, Charles Trenet.And
altogether that makes for a special personality.Chevalier for that stature, for the international
stature.And also another one, because I like the
tango, Carlos Gardel.But all those people have something in common, I
guess.Of course, I'm not talking about people like Sinatra, because he
came after those people in my life.Purrh asks: How do you feel your music has changed over the years?Charles Aznavour: I don't think that it is my music that is important.But poems or lyrics carry their own music by their own
rhythms.Compared to Gershwin, who was more complete, because he was able to write
pieces like An American in Paris.Monsieur Aznavour, have you found that
audiences prefer to hear your old standards, or do they welcome new music?Charles Aznavour: The public always prefers the old standards.But those new songs then in the next concert get moved to
the first half, so it's always a perpetual development.But my performance
is not based on hit songs.It's based on songs, and among those, I have hit
songs.Charles Aznavour: It's my life.Russia and
Turkey, the genocide, in a very light way, without pointing to any
people, and then I describe my struggle in France and my life in show
business.Charles Aznavour: No, I have always been very close to the Armenian people.When I say close, I mean in my heart and in my mind.After the earthquake, the day after, I thought I owed
something to the memory of my family, to my parents, so I committed myself
very strongly to try to help the people there.But one thing is important to
know: I am French, too I am a Frenchman with Armenian blood.Friend asks: How did you get into the acting business?Charles Aznavour: Well, I started as a child actor.Blue_Monk23 asks: Did you ever get the opportunity to work with
Truffaut again after Shoot the Piano Player?Charles Aznavour: No, because the producers, in a word, refused to produce
Fahrenheit 451 with me.Truffaut wanted to give me the part in Fahrenheit, but
the producers, I think they were English, they didn't know who I was.But
after that Truffaut wanted to have Belmondo, but they refused Belmondo too.That was the kind of thing that
happened in those days.When I went to America for
the first time, people filled up the concert hall, but people thought I was
a piano player, simply because of the movie.Charles Aznavour: I think in movies, it's the same always, it's a circle.It could be Italian movies, or American movies, or Russian
movies, and one day I believe they will come back.Right now, audiences want
to see strong special effects, and they want to laugh too, and it's
difficult to have comic movies in another country, because the humor is not
exactly the same.Truffaut allow much improvisational
performance or close adherence to the script?Charles Aznavour: No, no, he allowed lots of improvisation.How do you feel about how she sings your songs?Charles Aznavour: Yes, she was the first one who sang the difficult songs,
my kind of difficult songs.She was the one who was able to do it.They are
acting songs, like small plays, and she sang them beautifully, and each one
was like a little piece of jewelry.She never took a hit, she sang the kinds of songs that I
use as a material in my routine, and very successfully.Charles Aznavour: In America, Sinatra, Ray Charles, Bette Midler, of course
Liza, Streisand.And I love the country singers you have.Dolly Parton, and many others.Charles Aznavour: No, no.We made it through love songs.Purrh asks: Has computer technology affected your life?Charles Aznavour: No, but it has helped me.Then I introduce it into the computer, and I do the changes in the computer.It is one of my toys, you could say.Timehost: We have several questions and comments in from fans around
the globe.Let's start with this one:
DIEGO_LASSO asks: I'm speaking for thousands and thousands of fans in
Santo Domingo.Did you ever realize how great is the audience that follow
you in this Island?Charles Aznavour: No, I but I have been there.And it would be a pleasure for me to sing there,
especially in the languages they speak there.Timehost: And this one from Brazil, where the speaker would like to
know when Mr.Charles Aznavour: Sunday is the big day for Brazil!It's going to be France
versus Brazil!Unfortunately, I don't know when I am going to be there again.But I have been very often in Brazil, and I love it there.Marushka1998 asks: Hello Charles.We have seen you many times in Carnegie Hall and are looking forward to
your 75th year.Charles Aznavour: I will be on Broadway in October of this year, for four
weeks.And since then regularly I go to New York.Timehost: This next question came in from a participant, but has been
somehow deleted from the queue.Aznavour, what influence
do you think your music will have on the ages?Charles Aznavour: I don't know.French, but apart from that, I can't
project myself further.Timehost: We're out of time, unfortunately, but before we go, do you
have any closing thoughts you'd like to share, Mr.Aznavour for joining us this evening.We greatly enjoyed having you with us!CmAd(142, 70, "article", "text").Carnegie Hall y otros grandes escenarios de todo el mundo."Dance in the Old Fashioned Way".Premios y reconocimientos
