Colette Magny was a French singer/songwriter with a propensity for protest songs
whose musical style was informed by blues, jazz, folk, poetry, and spoken word.
Born on October 31, 1926, in Paris, France, she made her recording debut in 1963
with the single Melocoton on CBS. The single, the closest she would ever come to
a mainstream breakthrough hit, was subsequently compiled on her full-length solo
album debut, Les Tuileries (1964). Her final release on CBS, Les Tuileries is
comprised of musical adaptations of works by writers Victor Hugo, António
Jacinto, Arthur Rimbaud, Rainer Maria Rilke, Antonio Machado, and Louis Aragon,
plus a couple American traditionals and a few originals. Magny returned two
years later with Avec Poème (1966), an experimental full-length effort
informed by musique concrète on which André Almuro is credited for the
music. After this experimental effort on the short-lived label Disques
Mouloudji, Magny began her long association with the label Le Chant du Monde,
beginning with the album Colette Magny (1967), sometimes referred to by its
album-opening song, Vietnam 67. Subsequent albums on Le Chant du Monde include
Magny 68 (1969), Feu et Rythme (1970), Répression (1973), Transit (1975),
Chili un Peuple Crève... (1976), Visage — Village (1977), Je Veux
Chaanter (1979), Thanakan (1981), Cahier dune Tortue (1981), and Chansons Pour
Titine (1983). In later years, Magny self-released the album Kevork (1989) on
the label Colette Magny Promotion, and some of her Le Chant du Monde output was
reissued in the early 90s. Her death on June 12, 1997, in
Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Aveyron, France, sparked another round of reissues
including Melocoton (1997), which compiled the highlights of her CBS output, and
Blues (1999), which is essentially a repackaged version of her final Le Chant du
Monde album, Chansons Pour Titine. ~ Jason Birchmeier
