Argh, I was so close to win a copy of Clothilde's saperlipopette EP, but someone overbid my 100 dollars (!).. what a lucky rich bastard that won :)Annie Gautrat (b. 31/7/47, Paris) took the pseudo Stone when she was elected as Miss Beatnick in 1966.
Stone was then very fond of Rhythm & Blues, The Beatles, The Who and of course The Rolling Stones. She even got her nickname from her friends of Discothèque Bus Palladium which called her 'small stone' because her resemblance to Brian Jones of Rolling Stones (check out the hair!)
She released five EPs, and Fille un garçon' is from the second one; in English it means "Boy or girl"; It's about the youngsters with long hair. Then she got married to Eric Charden (who wrote songs for her), and they became the most successful and the most cheesy duo in French varietes. They split in 1977, but came back many times.
Stone has made soo many great songs, so I'll recommend you to buy her stuff (feat. on several yeye compilations)
Stone is on tour in 2007! Check the tourlist for dates.
Stone - Fille un garcon (Beach Boys - Sloop John B)?

The first song link isn't working. I'm excited to hear the others, though!
Please, please, please post "BUFFALO BILL"!
(If you have it...)
Patati Patata is also the name of a burger joint in Montreal -- now I will always hear this song in my head when I'm walking by it. Heheh.
Thanks for these!
P.S. I can't get the first song to work either. Also, you didn't mention that "Seul" is a cover of "Norwegian Wood". Interesting!
mydatabus didn't like the letter ç - but it should be working now :)
Kate, thanks, I forgot to write that. A burger joint called Patati Patata? Hmmmmmmm :-)
Canadian - so you understand French fluently?
and ano, sorry I already posted loads of songs by her. But try to email me ;)
