Lyrics

François RAVEZ

Thanks to Paps who discovered an interesting resource for the Vedettes magazines of the 40's, here are the photos of two of these men who wrote lyrics to Django's songs : Laurence Riesner and Francis Blanche.

Yes Francois I saw those pictures. I was shocked when I discovered how young Francis Blanche was! I mean, I knew that he must have been young at that time but that is super young

François RAVEZ

In fact he was born in july 1921, so I believe that he was even more young-looking that really young (22 yo in 1943). What surprised me the most is how Francis BLANCHE was lean in his youth. If I remember correctly he appears also shortly in a movie with Charles Trénet.
