Charles Aznavour, at the top of his game, singing his signature song, La Boheme (SLYT).

Some background on Aznavour

A magical Goddard scene (from A Woman is A Woman), which heavily features his song Tu t'laisses aller

I enjoyed that very much, although I did think at the beginning that that handkerchief was going to turn into a dove.

When I reach for some Aznavour it's usually in the form of Emmenez-Moi, which I encountered first as a recurring theme in the fantastic film, C.R.A.Z.Y.

I'm more of a Quand Tu M'Aimes girl myself. The ending slays me.

I love the way he sings so effortlessly, almost as if it's just an afterthought, yet he manages to belt out the notes with such an intensity
