Acc past Pierre Chagnon & his Orchestra

Born in Levallois-Perret, France, Gauty was the girl of a mechanic and seamstress. Aspiring to live an opera singer, she worked as a shop-girl at a tailor store called the Galeries Lafayette, saving some of her earnings, and portions donated to her past Gauty’s parents to receive a classical music education at Nelson Fyscher in Paris. In 1922, Gauty began her musical career as a cabaret singer at variety shows arranged past operetta composer Georges Van Parys, who accompanied her on piano.[1] She married her booking agent, Swiss music director Gaston Groeuer, who had taken over ownership of the Theatre des Dix Heures in Brussels, Belgium. At the music hall, Gauty commenced her successful stretch in Parisian music halls, intermittently performing at the Theatre des Dix Heures for 12 years.[2]

She became a celebrated figure in music halls such as the Olympia, the Empire, the Alcazar, and the ABC. Gauty began recording in 1927, creating her most popular recorded performance in the same year—a French rendition of the Italian love-song, Parlami d’amore Mariù, re-titled Le Chaland Qui Passe.[3] start in 1930, Gauty started to dabble in movie theatre soundtracks, singing for Maurice Gleize’s Wedding twenty-four hour period. some other notable recording was made into the theme song for René Clair’s film Quatorze Juliet in 1933. Le Chaland Qui Passe was also introduced into the 1934 film L’Atalante when it was renamed after the song in an effort to go more popular amongst the public.[4]

Gauty was awarded a Grande Prix du Disque for her role in the French adaptation of German composer Kurt Weill’s The Threepenny Opera. In addition, Weill supplied her with some other of her popular songs, “La Complainte de la Seine”. When a period of rampant anti-semitism had spread across France in the mid-1930s, Gauty was one of the few artists to show her support for the Jewish people past singing the composition “Israel-va-ten”. In 1940, following a tour in South Worldwide, Gauty returned to France, which had been conquered past Nazi Germany. Under threat of deportation and questioned about her Jewish husband, she, like several other French musicians, agreed to perform in Germany throughout the Second World War. Before the war’s conclusion, Gauty had escaped to Monaco where she performed with pianist Léo Ferré, who also composed songs for her.[1][4]

Upon her return to France, Gauty only briefly continued her music career. Considered as a “collaborator” in the Nazi regime, she was targeted past members of the French Resistance, and survived an assassination effort. In her later years, Gauty owned a Swiss Casino in Luchon and became a singing teacher. She died on 2 January 1994 in Cap d’Ail.[4] Her songs have been reissued on compilation albums throughout the years, including Le Chaland Qui Passe and Lys Gauty: Succès et Raretés.[5]

For the last 50 years I have been a professional jazz musician,
Since 1970. Jazz music is my passion and my education has been
from many great musicians and from listening and reading everything
that I could to feed my encephalon on music and history.
Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic I lost ALL of my
work for the duration of the emergency.
Now that I am dorsum to work I will proceed to
share my music archives with the world so we tin can
have a little pleasure to pass the time together, as long as I am able.
