Available in:
Lucienne Boyer, born in the 6th arrondissement of Paris on August 18, 1901, and died on December 6, 1983 in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, her real name Émilienne-Henriette Boyer, was one of the most popular French singers of the inter-war period. Her nickname is "La Dame en Bleu". Parlez-moi d'amour is her most famous success.
She was born as Émilienne-Henriette Boyer in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris, France. Her melodious voice gave her the chance, while working as a part-time model, to sing in the cabarets of Montparnasse. An office position at a prominent Parisian theater opened the door for her and within a few years she was cast as Lucienne Boyer, singing in the major Parisian music halls.
In 1927, Boyer sang at a concert by the great star Félix Mayol where she was seen by the American impresario Lee Shubert who immediately offered her a contract to come to Broadway. Boyer spent nine months in New York City, returning to perform there and to South America numerous times throughout the 1930s. By 1933 she had made a large number of recordings for Columbia Records of France including her signature song, "Parlez-moi d'amour". Written by Jean Lenoir, the song won the first-ever Grand Prix du Disque of the Charles Cros Academy.
She died in Paris, and was interred in the Cimetière de Bagneux in Montrouge, near Paris.
