French-born Léo Ferré came to the world in Monaco on August 24, 1916 (and died on July 14, 1993). His parents were of French (dad) and Italian (mom) heritage. As for him, he was a great poet, composer, singer, and performer (https://shorturl.at/kyp1Z).
Among Ferré’s amazing musical legacy, there is as piece that stood up the test of time. Yes, it is “Avec le temps” [With Time], a song about the flight of a disappointed love and how time can erase everything (https://shorturl.at/Ui3kA). However, ironically, the passing time, since 1969-70 clearly did not make the beauty, and relevance, of Mr. Ferré’s famous song fade.
Thank you, Mr. Ferré for having existed. May your memory be eternal.
