Lucienne Delyle- Sérénade Sans Espoir (Penny Serenade), 1939

Back

LUCIENNE DELYLE (1917 -- 1962). Born in Paris, she was a fully educated pharmaceutist. First she sung as an amateur singer, until 1939, when she was heard and immediately engaged by Jacques Canetti, the artistic director of Radio Cité. In 1940 she married the jazzman Aimé Barelli, who guided her career ever since. After the immense success of the song "Mon amant de Saint-Jean" (My Lover From Saint-Jean), in 1942, Lucienne Delyle will be the most popular French female singer of 1950 years. In 1953, Bruno Coquartix invited her and young Gilbert Bécaud to be the stars for the gala opening concert at the „Olympia". Delyle's career declined rapidly in the end of the 1950, due to the progress of leucaemia, she suffered from. In 1960 she gave the last series of concerts on the stage of „Bobino". She died in Monte Carlo, in 1962. Recording: Lucienne Delyle - Sérénade sans espoir (Penny Serenade) (Melle Weersma /H. Halifax /A. Hornez), Columbia 1939
