Since then she has sold millions of records, singing rock-'n'-roll with suitably dreadful turgidity and ballads with a rather lovely, sultry small voice. She made numerous concert tours with Johnny Hallyday, the French Presley, then became engaged to him, and now lives in his eight-room Paris apartment.
