A little quiz for you.

Tomorrow (19th) is the birthday of one of the most iconic singers of all time. Born on the pavement in Paris, named after a nurse, was actually blind through an illness between the ages of 3 and 7, this world famous artistes songs are still used today in popular culture.

This icon has had films and books dedicated in honour, died at the age of 47.

Who is this singer?
