Editor's note

Marie Laforêt, the French singer with a quiet voice

She started as an actress, then found a lasting sound with songs like 'Mon Amour, Mon Ami.'

For a sense of her, try 'La Voix Du Silence' or 'Une petite ville.' They frame that quiet, steady presence she had.

Her 1967 single 'Mon Amour, Mon Ami' broke through internationally, and she kept recording into the late 1970s with albums like 'Entre Elle et Moi.' Songs like 'La Tendresse' and 'C'est fini' stuck around in the French memory. She worked with composer André Popp, but her music always felt like her own.

She began acting at 15, then moved into music in the early 1960s with 'Les Vendanges de l'Amour.' After 'Mon Amour, Mon Ami' in 1967, she put out tracks like 'Ivan, Boris et moi' and 'Viens sur la montagne' over the next few years. Later, personal and legal troubles took a toll, but she kept making records.
