In 1946 Charles Aznavour and his family, his mother, father and sister, wanted to settle in Soviet Armenia. But the destiny had defined another thing for Charles.
The family of Aznavouryans was in a poor social condition. Little Shahnour went to school only for several years. Already at the age of 9 he started singing in Paris cafes and theatres.
Charles Aznavour has inherited the acting skills from his mother, a former actress, whose entire family was exterminated during the years of the Genocide.
The low-paid actor and singer soon got acquainted with Pierre Richard. This meeting was followed by another fatal meeting. Crazy people are lucky. After 2 years Charles became a famous singer.
Charles has performed about 1000 songs and has played over 50 roles in films. But the singer in him has defeated the actor.
The short man in grey suit shocked Paris. His voice came out of the borders of Paris.
