Forestier: the best singer: What's Inside In the humble opinion of the authoress ofthe accompanying article (en fran~ais), Louise Forestier is the best singer of French Cana­ dian music. She is the most beautiful, the most natural, the most - but she's even more! She made her exciting debut in Quebec with Robert Charlebois in 1967. Since then she has made quite a reputation for herself, singing with the likes of Claude LaFrance who is, together with Valiquette and Cousineau, one of the best musicians in Quebec. When she sings songs like "Les Bleus de Paris", "Le Tango de l'Orenoque", or "Tout le Monde est Malheureux" one is transported on a cloud right out ofthis world.
