The Swingle singer Christiane Legard died yesterday, the same day as composer André Hodeir. She was the sister of film composer Michel Legrand and was the lead singer of the group 1962-72.

Her niece, Victoria, is a member of the US indie band, Beach house.

Here’s video of Christiane singing with her bro in one of his greatest hits.

I’m off to search out the lemons of Tel Aviv.
