Music video description
The song "La Voix Du Silence" from the repertoire of French singer Marie Laforet was released in 1966. It is a cover of the big hit The Sound of Silence by the American musical duo Simon & Garfunkel. The singer was quite a distinctive figure on the French pop music scene. Marie Laforet worked with the CBS Records label, which expected her to sing somewhat more straightforward and upbeat songs, while the woman was interested in recording more personal sounds. In the 1960s, the singer was steeped in folk music. She was the one who popularized "Blowin' in the Wind" Boba Dylana in France with her interpretation of the song in 1963. During her career, she also recorded covers of such hits as "Paint It Black" from the repertoire of the group The Rolling Stones or the legendary House of the Rising Sun.
