Francoise Hardy - Comment te dire adieu?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

Cool song that I remember from the 60s when I spent a year in France as a teen. It was originally It hurts to say good-bye recorded in English by Marget Whiting in 1966 and by Vera Lynn. But the original English versions were slow ballads and didn't have the same feeling as the Bossa Nova beat of Hardy's version. This tune was often playing on the radio and on juke boxes in clubs along the beach in France when I was over there. It's now being used in a new Verizon commercial. I hate it when merchants hawk their wares using great old tunes from the past but at least the commercial reminded me of a song I'd nearly forgotten.
