Charles Aznavour
Charles Aznavour ((:ʃaʁl aznavuʁ); born Shahnour Varinag Aznavourian on 22 May 1924) is a French and Armenian singer, songwriter, actor, public activist and diplomat. Aznavour is known for his unique tenor voice: clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravelly and profound low notes. He has written more than 1,200 songs, sung in eight languages,〔Charles Aznavour recorded in French, English, Italian, Spanish, German, Armenian (''Yes kou rimet'n tchim kidi'', ''La goutte d'eau'' and ''Sirerk''), Neapolitan (''Napule amica mia'') and in Russian (''Vetchnai lioubov''). (Charles Aznavour Songs Catalog )〕 sold more than 180 million records.〔() 〕
He is one of France's most popular and enduring singers.〔 He has been dubbed France's Frank Sinatra,〔 while music critic Stephen Holden has described Aznavour as "French pop deity." He is also arguably the most famous Armenian of his time. In 1998, Aznavour was named Entertainer of the Century by CNN and users of ''Time Online'' from around the globe. He was recognized as the century's outstanding performer, with nearly 18% of the total vote, edging out Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.
He has sung for presidents, popes and royalty, as well as at humanitarian events. In response to the 1988 Armenian earthquake, he founded the charitable organization ''Aznavour for Armenia'' along with his long-time friend impresario Levon Sayan. In 2009, he was appointed ambassador of Armenia to Switzerland, as well as Armenia's permanent delegate to the United Nations at Geneva. Aznavour is the longest standing “A list” star, still filling major venues all over the world.〔(MSG Presents a Farewell Concert by Charles Aznavour, The Jewish Voice, 27 August 2014 )〕 He started his most recent tour in 2014.
