Sylvie Vartan (French pronunciation: [silvi vaʁtɑ̃]; born Sylvie Georges Vartanian[a] on 15 August 1944) is a Bulgarian-French singer and actress.[1] She is known as one of the most productive and tough-sounding yé-yé artists.[2] Her performances often featured elaborate show-dance choreography,[2] and she made many appearances on French and Italian TV.
Yearly shows with then-husband Johnny Hallyday attracted full houses at the Olympia and the Palais des congrès de Paris throughout the 1960s and mid-1970s.[2] In 2004, after a break in performances, she began recording and giving concerts of jazz ballads in francophone countries.[1]
