Lucienne Delyle
Lucienne Delyle was a renowned French singer born on April 16, 1913, in Paris. Initially trained as a pharmacist, she transitioned to a singing career after being discovered by Jacques Canetti, the artistic director of Radio Cité, in 1939. Her breakthrough came with the 1942 hit "Mon amant de Saint-Jean," which propelled her to become one of the most popular female singers in France during the 1950s. In 1940, she married jazz musician Aimé Barelli, who played a significant role in managing her career. The couple had a daughter, Minouche Barelli, born in 1947.

Lucienne Delyle's career peaked in the 1950s, highlighted by her performance at the gala opening concert of the Paris Olympia in 1953, alongside Gilbert Bécaud. However, her career began to decline towards the end of the decade due to her battle with leukemia. Her final performances were held at the Bobino music hall in 1960. Lucienne Delyle passed away on April 10, 1962, in Monte Carlo. Her legacy includes a rich discography with notable songs such as "Sur les quais du vieux Paris," "Elle fréquentait la rue Pigalle," and "Nuages."
