A year ago, Mireille Mathieu was just another unknown teen-ager trying her luck on a French TV show called The Game of Chance, an amateur tal ent contest sandwiched between the halves of a rugby match. Standing rigid as a rail, she sang one two-minute song, but it was enough to send a shock wave of recognition through thousands of viewers. That vibrant power, that haunting, husky throb. It was Edith Piaf reincarnate. Even her birdlike dimensions—4 ft. 10 in., 90 Ibs.—matched Piaf's precisely.

Mireille Mathieu was born in Avignon, Vaucluse, France, the oldest daughter of a poor family of fourteen children. She began appearing in public at the age of four, singing in her church. As a young girl she worked in a factory, where she saved money to pay for singing lessons.

Within only a few months, Mireille Mathieu had attained the summits of popularity. Johnny Stark, Johnny Hallyday’s and Yves Montand’s famous agent, signed the young singer. He became her mentor and encouraged her to take singing, dancing and language lessons. She had to submit to an intense rhythm of interviews, photo sessions and other promotional exercises, while Paul Mauriat, her musical director, put her through an intense series of practice sessions. However, a hard worker, she took to this new life easily.
