I was a bit day-dreaming and remembered some almost forgotten stars of my childhood, one of them a French actor & singer who died last year on 2nd Nov. 2019.
Maybe, no one here remembers her name because she seemed not to have been mentioned in this thread in last November but she sang one of the best nostalgic French chansons of the 70s.
This chanson from 1977 was once used by my French teacher to show us how nice and sad French chansons can be and that is why I think, she should also be remembered here. She said about herself, she does not really have a good voice but an interesting "timbre" and many boys during my schooltime said she had the most unsual eyes of a French lady at that time.
She was Marie Laforêt ...

... and her most nostalgic song for me was:
The lyrics of her "Il a neigé sur Yesterday" in the English translation:
It has snowed on Yesterday
The evening they left
The fog over the sea fell asleep
And Yellow Submarine was engulfed
And Jude lives alone, in a cottage in Chelsea
John and Paul, I believe were the only ones
To whom she wrote
Old Sergeant Peppers lost his medals at
The latest refrain from Hello Good Bye
Hello Good Bye
It has snowed on Yesterday
The evening they left us
Penny Lane today has two children
But it rains on the Isle of Wight in spring
Eleonor Rigby, your four musicians
Come separately to see you
When they go to Dublin
They will tell you about Michèle
The beautiful of tender years
Of these words that go so well together
So good together
It has snowed on Yesterday
The evening they left
Penny Lane is already far away now
But she will never have white hair
It snowed on Yesterday
That year, even in summer
Picking these flowers
Lady madonna trembled
But it was not cold
It snowed on Yesterday
That year, even in summer
Picking these flowers
Lady madonna trembled
But it was not cold
It has snowed on Yesterday
That year, even in summer
Picking these flowers
Lady madonna trembled ...
