Suzy Delair(1917-2020)

February 28, 1948, she sang the French song "C'est si bon" (composed in 1947 by Henri Betti with the lyrics of André Hornez) with Jean Marion on the piano at the Hotel Negresco during the last evening of the first "Nice Jazz Festival". Louis Armstrong was present and loved the song. June 26, 1950, he recorded the American version of the song (English lyrics by Jerry Seelen) in New York with Sy Oliver and his Orchestra. When it was released, the disc was a worldwide success and the song was then performed by the greatest international singers. In 2017, she was the first centenarian performer of this song. The second was Jane Morgan in 2024.
