She (Charles Aznavour song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

She is the title of a song written by Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer.

The original version, sung by Aznavour, reached number 1 in the UK single charts in 1974, but was not successful in the USA or France. The song was recorded by Aznavour in several different languages aside from English, namely French and Italian, as well as Spanish and German.

The song has been recorded by many different artists over the years:

Elvis Costello recorded a cover version in 1999 for the soundtrack of the film Notting Hill, with Trevor Jones producing. It is featured over the film's closing credits, except in the US, where "No Matter What", performed by Boyzone, is played instead.
The Irish artist Joe Dolan recorded a version of the song on the album Memories, with other hit songs from the 60's.
Dave Stewart and Terry Hall's short-lived project Vegas had a minor UK hit with the song in 1992.
A version of the song by Peter Skellern can be found on the compilation album Music To Watch Girls By.

The British sitcom Fawlty Towers features a scene in the episode "Basil the Rat" in which hapless Spanish waiter Manuel sings an excerpt of the song while sitting on his bed.
