«Le Temps des avants» is Charles Aznavour's memoir, published by Flammarion in paperback (368 pages, in French).
Charles Aznavour recalls his origins as the son of Armenian immigrants, his childhood, his stateless condition and his difficult beginnings until achieving success. The account combines his roles as singer, actor and author with those of brother, husband and friend, and pauses on unusual, smiling or dramatic moments in which he is not always the protagonist.
Published on 2 October 2003; the cover bears the subtitle «Mémoires». Aznavour turned eighty in 2004.
For admirers of Charles Aznavour and of the chanson française, as well as for those who enjoy the memoirs of great twentieth-century artists.
Charles Aznavour was a French and Armenian singer-songwriter, 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 singer and songwriter, spanning over 70 years, he recorded more than 1,200 songs, in various languages. Moreover, he wrote or co-wrote more than 1,000 songs for himself and others. Aznavour is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters in history and an icon of 20th-century pop culture.
