Editor's note

Hélène Segara, the voice of Notre-Dame de Paris

A French mezzo-soprano who found fame singing 'Belle' and kept going through vocal challenges.

For a sense of her, try 'Je rêve' or 'Où Que J'Aille', they're the ones people still play.

She first got noticed in 1996 when Michel Berger asked her to sing 'Belle' for the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. That led to her debut album and the hit single 'Encore Une Fois.' Songs like 'Je rêve' and 'Où Que J'Aille' have stuck around in French-speaking countries, and she kept recording even after a 2003 autoimmune disease affected her vocal cords.

It started with 'Belle' in 1996 and the debut album the next year. After the vocal cord diagnosis in 2003, she put out albums like 'Au Nom d'une Femme' and 'Et Alors!' in the following years.
