Those who happened to be born and live in the Soviet Union, of course, remember well the melody that accompanied the weather forecast every evening for many years, ending the main television news program. But most of the Soviet people knew nothing about the song written to this music, as well as about its famous performer Marie Laforte.
This wonderful melody was written in France in 1966 by the composer André Popp, and its instrumental version was performed by Frank Purcell's orchestra, which sounded every night in our country. Soon Eddie Marne wrote the words to her, and the result was a beautiful song about love that disappeared in the Manchester fogs and rains, which was performed by the talented and very beautiful French singer Marie Laforêt. But in our country, few people knew about it.
At the same time, we also made attempts to compose lyrics to this popular melody. This is how the song appeared on verses by Robert Rozhdestvensky.
Yuri Vizbor, Lev Barashkov, Leonid Derbenev also tried their hand at writing poetry to this music …
Marie LaForet is the artistic pseudonym of the famous Frenchwoman Maitena Dumenac, and her artistic career was determined by chance. At one of the competitions, where Maitena came not as a participant, but simply for the company with her sister, she was noticed by director Rene Clement, who at that time was looking for an actress for his film "In the bright sun", with Alain Delon in the title role. After her acting debut, Maitena immediately became famous, then she got a more euphonious pseudonym "Marie Laforêt".
In 1960, Marie already played the leading role in Jean-Gabriel Albicocco's film The Girl with the Golden Eyes. The film was a huge success, and the beautiful actress, the owner of extraordinary beautiful and expressive yellow-green eyes, from that time on, everyone began to call it “The Girl with Golden Eyes”.
The career of a talented actress, deeply living her roles and able to transform without any special external effects, was very successful in the 60s, she was in great demand and played many different roles.
During these years, Marie tries her hand at the stage. With the song "Les Vendanges de l'Amour", about love carried through parting, which became a real hit in 1963, her first success and fame came to her.
After that, many more beautiful songs appeared in her repertoire, and one of them - "La Tendresse" ("Tenderness"), a song about an amazing human feeling. "".
Another very sincere song is "Mon Amour, Mon Ami" ("My love, my friend") 1967. "".
Marie Laforêt's song "Ivan, Boris et moi", known as "Three plus five", was very popular in our country.
In the early 70s, the audience was captivated by the piercing, tearful performance of the song “Viens, Viens” (“Come back, come back”). This song is a translation of the German hit “Rain Rain Rain”, in which the child asks the father who left his family to return.
The popularity of Marie Lafote is largely due to the special manner of performance inherent in this singer. Her songs, surprisingly simple and sincere, stood out sharply against the background of the cheerful dance rhythms of the French stage of that time.
She has much more of the true femininity and sophistication of the 50s than the cheerfulness and frivolity of the 60s. Brought up in severity, she avoided the wild life inherent in bohemians. The most important thing for her has always been the moral qualities of a person and family values, everything that has been put into her since childhood.
Gentle, but also harsh, if necessary. “I'm too principled,” says Marie. She married five times, raised three children, a son, Medzhi, and two daughters, Lisa and Deborah.
Each popular song has its own history and development. "Chunga-Changa", from a Soviet cartoon, performed at a Georgian feast, sounds amazing!
