Charles Aznavour [born Shahnour Vaghinag Aznavourian (22 May 1924 - 1 October 2018)] was a French singer, lyricist, actor, public activist and diplomat. Aznavour was known for his distinctive tenor voice: clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravelly and profound low notes. In a career spanning over 70 years, he recorded more than 1,200 songs interpreted in eight languages. He wrote or co-wrote more than 1,000 songs for himself and others.
In 1946 he was discovered by Edith Piaf, who then advised him to pursue a career in singing. Piaf helped Aznavour develop a distinctive voice that stimulated the best of his abilities.
Aznavour became one of France's most popular and enduring singers. He sold 180 million record during his lifetime and was dubbed France's Frank Sinatra, while music critic Stephen Holden described Aznavour as a "French pop deity". In 1998, Aznavour was named Entertainer of the Century by CNN and users of Time Online from around the globe. He was recognized as the century's outstanding performer, with nearly 18% of the total vote, edging out Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.
Aznavour had a long and varied parallel career as an actor, appearing in over 80 films and TV movies. In 1960 Aznavour starred in François Truffaut's ‘Tirez sur le pianiste’. He also put in a critically acclaimed performance in the 1974 movie ‘And Then There Were None’. On 24 August 2017, Aznavour was awarded the 2,618th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Aznavour was increasingly involved in French, Armenian and international politics as his career progressed. In 2004 Aznavour received the title of National Hero of Armenia, Armenia's highest award, and agreed to hold the position of Ambassador of Armenia to Switzerland on 12 February 2009.
