My brother Howard alerted me to the death of French singer and actress Juliette Gréco. I wasn't familiar with her but after a little research I realized I knew a little something of her. She appeared in the movie *Bonjour Tristesse.* Fascinating movie, by the way, with a stellar performance by Jean Seberg as the disaffected central teenage girl. But the book is 200% better! Anyway, here's Mademoiselle Gréco singing the title song:
She had a long love affair with Miles Davis.
Here she is singing "Sous le ciel de Paris." Her voice conjures up a whole culture, a whole way of life.
