At times we find proof that dreams really do come true.
Born in 1946 in Avignon, France
Murielle Mathieu is the eldest daughter of a stonecutter and is my all time favorite french performer.
Gifted with a remarkably powerful voice she became well known as "the songbird of Avignon".
Her dream to become a world renown singer was first revealed in this rare TV appearance from 1967
with this beautiful and unforgettable song that propelled her to stardom, titled;
"Je ne suis rien sans toi" ( I am nothing without you) ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwBFIxgCq9Q&feature=related )
During the span of her career she has recorded more than 1200 songs in 9 different languages
and was the first ever western performer to give concerts in China.
In a heart touching ceremony on January 26 of this year she was promoted from Chevalier (09 Dec 99)
to Officer of The Legion d'honneur, France's highest decoration by President Nicolas Sarkozy

From among so many to choose from, I found this one with sub-titles;
Pardonne-moi ce caprice d'enfant (Forgive me this childish whim)

and for listening pleasure,
the english version of the world renown song "Acropolis Adieu";
