Vanavond, vrijdag 17 september 2021, op tv in het programma 'Chansons!' van Matthijs van Nieuwkerk aandacht voor zijn grote held Charles Aznavour. Vooruitlopend hierop een exclusieve AVRO opname van een van zijn mooiste chansons...

Charles Aznavour, (Paris, 22 May 1924 - Paris, 1 October 2018) was a French singer-songwriter and actor from Armenian descent.
He is considered one of the greatest chansonniers. His seventy-year career produced some 294 albums and 1.400 songs, including the classics 'La Bohème' and 'She'.
Aznavour scored hits in the sixties and seventies in the Netherlands such as 'For me ... formidable', 'Yesterday When I Was Young', 'The Old Fashioned Way', 'She' and 'Mes emmerdes'. Despite his high age, Aznavour still performed, for example in early March in an almost sold out AFAS Live in Amsterdam.
The singer was confronted more often with his fragile, physical condition in the past six months. For example, he was admitted to a hospital in St. Petersburg in April because he became unwell during a rehearsal.

This video is part of the AVRO TV program 'Club Domino', a music program of the 1960's in which one guest was at the center of each episode. The series of musical performences was presented by Denise Maes in the context of AVRO's "Club des Vedettes".
In this episode a gala show in honor of the 40th anniversary of the AVRO was broadcast with Charles Aznavour. Musical accompaniment by a band consisting of Henri Gérard, François Guin, Pierre Simonain, Pierre Urbain and André Biressi.
