Ye Ye, Chanson, and French Pop

This is pretty proggy, but still has a chanson influence. (Or is it just the singing, that makes it appear this way?)
Anyway, Christiane Maria Cohade is rules.
Oh, and it's probably too recent for this thread.

That was great! Don't worry about how recent it is, you can post modern stuff if you want. Also, prog and psych influenced songs are fantastic, so feel free to post those too.

Here's Belisama Part Two, a classic French heavy psych song! It kinda caught me off guard the first time I heard it, because it was on a comp filled with otherwise lighthearted Ye-Ye music.

From 1967, here's Charlotte Leslie with Les Filles C'est Fait Pour Faire L'Amour, a fun, fast, and ultra mod song with some fuzz guitars here and there:

I blew my load in my first post in here, but I've been listening to everything y'all have posted. Really good shit. I'm going to find some compilations if I can.

i suggest starting with this

the Christiane Maria Cohade song was really good but the Charlotte Leslie is spot on for my idea of Ye-Ye

Monique Thulbert....kind of a "one hit wonder" and really more of a Bardot rip off....still this is a great single

Jane Birkin....'nuff said

some really good modern Ye-Ye ala April March

Considering it's Halloween....plus this song is just groovy as fuck

^ Great tracks, as always! That Jane Birkin song, with all of the references to sixties musicians, reminds me of that awesome Jacqueline Taieb song that seems to find it's way onto every Ye-Ye comp.

And yeah, there are a bunch of great comps out there, like C'est Chic!, the aforementioned Swinging Mademoiselles CD, and the original and difficult to find bootleg Swinging Mademoiselle series on vinyl. I was introduced to Ye-Ye by Ultra Chicks, which is also a bootleg series, although it's much easier to track down. Nobody knows who started the series, since it's not on a label, but I'm pretty sure it was the Shaws, as they still sell original copies that they find lying around the Bomp warehouse.

Ultra Chicks is an amazing comp....completely forgot about that one....also Girls in the Garage Vol 10 is all 60s French music

Oriphiel · 10-31-2015, 03:03 PM

Girls in the Garage for life.

bob. · 10-31-2015, 03:07 PM

agreed 100%....by far one of the greatest collections on earth

Here's San Asterisque by Dani, a fun song from 1966!
