Musician and actress (appearing in the famous The Party by Blake Edwards), exiled in the United States for ages, Claudine Longet has just died. She was known for her delightful albums released roughly between 1964 and 1972, filled with exquisite covers of songwriters and artists such as Burt Bacharach, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Donovan, Leonard Cohen, Brian Wilson, Neil Young, and Antônio Carlos Jobim… It’s a delight of sunshine pop and bossa nova, a kind of postcard from the sixties…
