July 22 marks the 74th anniversary of the legendary French singer Mireille Mathieu. Her name is known all over the world, the total circulation of her records is 133 million, her songs are known to millions of fans. She continues her touring life today, appears at social events and gives interviews. True, there are topics that the singer always prefers to keep silent about …
Mireille Mathieu never hid the fact that her childhood was very difficult. She grew up in a very poor family with many children, where besides her there were 13 more children! At school, she studied very poorly and was a poor student. But this happened because the girl was left-handed from birth, and the teacher beat her on the arm with a ruler and demanded that she write with her right hand. At the age of 13, Mireille dropped out of school and got a job at an envelope factory.
Mireille got her passion for singing from her father, who worked as a bricklayer, but had an excellent tenor voice and loved to play music. The singer said in her memoirs: “
She is called a style icon and one of the most elegant French women, but in her youth she was very complex about her own appearance. Her height is only 153 cm, and she started playing volleyball in order to grow up at least a little. She never succeeded, but later she always heard a lot of compliments about her diminutiveness. Both in appearance and in voice to many viewers and critics, Mireille Mathieu at first very much reminded Edith Piaf, but the famous French chansonnier Maurice Chevalier once said to her: "".
Her producer and manager Johnny Stark, whom Mireille Mathieu called her magician and kind angel, helped her to find herself on stage, to find her own style and unique style of performance. The singer said that he taught her, a provincial girl from a simple working family, to constantly improve and work on herself. Some biographers of the singer suggest that it was he who was her only love all her life. But Mireille Mathieu herself leaves this fact without comment. At one of the concerts, she introduced her impresario as follows: "". Whether this was just a recognition of creative and professional fidelity or something more remains a mystery.
She always spoke about her work very willingly, but on the topic of her personal life she preferred to be silent. Mireille Mathieu has never been officially married and has not represented a single man to the public as a life partner. And to all questions on this topic, she answered: "". At one time, there were rumors in the press that the singer's main love was a certain French industrialist who proposed to her, but demanded to leave the stage for the sake of the family, and she refused to marry.
Even when the singer released a book of memoirs, she decided not to say anything about her personal life in it. But once again she admitted that it did not give her the opportunity to start a family: "".
Mireille Mathieu calls her profession the main passion, and the greatest happiness is the opportunity to live this passion. And when asked about whom she loves, she answers: "".
Her songs do not lose popularity in the new century: Great video clip of Mireille Mathieu 1977.
