She loves you, ye, ye, ye

“A Touch of Music, A Touch of Francoise Hardy”   Vogue Records   (France)   (1969)   Random note:   Hardy is mentioned in Bob Dylan’s poem “Some Other Kinds of Songs” on the back of the album “Another Side of Bob Dylan”   Excerpted here:

for françoise hardy
at the seine’s edge
a giant shadow
of notre dame
seeks t’ grab my foot
sorbonne students
whirl by on thin bicycles
swirlin’ lifelike colors of leather spin

Here’s a story of Dylan’s encounter with Francois Hardy

Here’s an early song from this beautiful French singer in English: “Ton Meilleur Ami”
