Tous les garçons et les filles

Françoise Hardy's first album arrived at the height of French yé-yé, when most young singers recorded songs handed to them. She wrote most of these herself, and the title song became a major hit in France. The record is short and plainly arranged; its lasting interest is a songwriter's voice emerging inside a teen-pop industry.
