“Oh Oh quelle histoire,” actress and singer Jeanne Moreau sung, trying to pretend she didn’t like the unsubtle advances of some Brazilian man whose name she couldn’t remember. More of this great seductress’ music has been added to Radio Oh La La, as well as film music from Charles Aznavour’s ‘doppelganger’ Georges Gavarentz, Francis Lai and Michel Legrand.
So many French actors and actresses were also singers, some making the grade, others more or less tolerated because of their acting success and looks. They include Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, and Anna Karina. Dame Jeanne was very good at both.

Radio Oh-la-la brings you French music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, with new music being added every week. Sing along to Dalida, sleaze along to Serge Gainsbourg, or just tune in while you’re working like I do.
After years of spinning music at various radio stations in Montréal as well as singles in my living room, it was time to go on line. Truth is, my Dutch friends got fed up of me monopolising their stereos at parties, so something had to be done, and that something became Radio Oh-la-la.
