One of the great
yé-yé girls of the sixties.
Catchy,
French pop!
Isabelle Gall (this is her
real name) was born in
Paris, France in
1947. When she was 15 she released her first
e.p., "Ne sois pas si bête," which sold 200,000 copies in
France alone. Probably her most
popular song is "Poupée de cire, poupée de son," released in
1965 and composed by the late
Serge Gainsbourg. She was very popular in France and
Germany throughout
the sixties.

Gall has continued to release
music into the
nineties, but
heed: her later music
ain't catchy sixties
pop.
Albums of note are:
