Liz Brady - 3xEP: Palladium / Rien n'est perdu / Hey O Daddy O (2023 Remastered Version) (1965) Hi-Res

Born Raymonde Fleurat in Heliopolis near Cairo, Egypt, on January 5, 1940, to a French father and a Greek mother, the singer spent six years in England with her husband, where they practiced lindy hop dancing together. She then turned to singing, performing in cabarets and nightclubs, both abroad and in Paris, where she was offered the chance to record a 45-turn single. Released on the Pathé label, "Hey O Daddy O", adapted from an American title, was an immediate success in 1965, and was combined with three more romantic original songs to complete a first EP. Liz Brady's powerful voice and ease with the rock rhythms in vogue made her an ideal interpreter of imported hits such as those that made up her second EP Rien N'Est Perdu (1966) and the jerk "Palladium "The Hip"", opening the next. From yé-yé to garage rock, Liz Brady was appreciated by a varied teenage public and took part in several song festivals, in Majorca with "Toi, moi et une rose" and in Budapest with "Si tu partais". Released in 1967, the EP Partie de Dames was her last for Pathé, before she moved to Decca, where she released "On n'a rien inventé" and the EP Le Piano S'Est Tu. In 1968, Liz Brady moved to Quebec and formed the duo Les Scarabées with Martine Gautier, who recorded for the Gamma and RCA labels, notably the hit "Le Cœur de mon pays " (1972), which led to a successful album of the same name. She continued on her own with the song "Je voulais faire de l'amour" in 1973, then moved to Florida, where she created a show under the name Liza Brady in 1985. Remaining in the United States, she died on January 28, 2019 at the age of 79.
