Georgette plana

Heiress to the realist singers of the early 20th century, Georgette Plana started out as a dancer before being launched in Bourvil's show in 1942. As a revue singer, she scored a number of hits, including "Le Bar de l'escadrille " and "Feu follet". In the 1960s, her version of "Riquita", which reached No. 1 in the hit parade, revived the career of the gouaille singer, who died on March 10, 2013 at the age of 95.
