Oh no! She was a HUGE favourite of mine in my early teens. I spent a while working out the chords to Tous les garcons from the record - I think it was the first song for which I did that. Now it would be obvious just from listening once, but at that early stage in my musical journey, probably 1964ish, it seemed a major achievement and it was a huge pleasure to strum along to her gorgeous voice whilst drooling at the LP cover!

Here's another that would set my pulse racing -

I might dig out my old LPs later...

RIP.
