Background notes
Archive material and source history
Suzy Delair was a French singer born Suzanne Pierrette Delaire in Paris in 1917. She started as a dancer at the Folies Bergère and began singing in 1934, performing at the Casino de Paris. Her voice had a smoky quality that suited the chanson style of the time.
In 1940, she released 'Ah! c'qu'on s'aimait', a song about lost love that became popular during World War II. This helped establish her as a singer known for melancholic and romantic themes. Other songs like 'C'est si bon' and 'Caroline, Caroline' also became part of her repertoire.
She worked with musicians such as pianist Henri Salvador and accordionist André Ekyan. Her music blended elements of French folk and American jazz, giving her recordings a distinct, introspective feel.
