France Gall, a vocalist and French pop star, has died at the age of 70. She was born on October 9th, 1947 in Paris, France, to a musical family, and began singing at an early age. She released her first single in 1962 at the age of 15 and had become famous within just a few months. She went on to release a string of successful singles and albums throughout the sixties, primarily in the French language, and often collaborating with her close friend and composer, Serge Gainsbourg. Gall is remembered by many for representing Luxembourg in the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest, where she won the contest with several Gainsbourg-composed compositions, most notably "Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son." This song and her collaboration with Gainsbourg made her a huge archetypal figure in French pop culture, and she became something of a star in foreign nations, such as Germany, Japan, and North and South America. In the subsequent years, she began to collaborate more with new generations of young French songwriters, often taking on counterculture sentiments and topics. Her later releases still made huge impacts in the French musical charts, and her influence lived on through subsequent generations of pop artists. Gall also went on to become an ambassador for the World Organization for Animal Health. Gall passed away peacefully on January 7th, 2018. She is survived by her children Cosma and Pauline, and ex-husband, Michel Berger.
