Sylvie Vartan (born Sylvie Georges Vartanian; 15 August 1944) is a Armenian-Bulgarian-French singer and actress. She is known as one of the most productive and tough-sounding yé-yé artists. Her performances often featured elaborate show-dance choreography, and she made many appearances on French and Italian TV.

In 2004, after a break in performances, she began recording and giving concerts of jazz ballads in francophone countries. ...
