Charles Aznavour, 1924 to 2018, was a French singer of Armenian ancestry, as well as a lyricist, actor, and diplomat. Aznavour was known for his distinctive vibrato tenor voice: clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravelly and profound low notes. In a career as a composer, singer, and songwriter, spanning over 70 years, he recorded more than 1,200 songs interpreted in 9 languages. Moreover, he wrote or co-wrote more than 1000 songs for himself and others. Aznavour is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time and an icon of 20th century pop culture.
