Charles Aznavour, (born Shahnour Varenagh Aznavourian on May 22, 1924,
Paris) is an Armenian-French singer, songwriter, actor and public
activist. Besides being one of France's most popular and enduring
singers, he is also one of the most well-known singers in the world. He
is known for his characteristic short figure and unique tenor voice;
clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravely and profound
low notes. He has appeared in more than 60 movies, composed about
1,000 songs (including at least 150 in English, 100 in Italian, 70
in Spanish, and 50 in German), and sold well over 100 million records.
In 1998, Charles Aznavour was chosen as Entertainer of the Century by
CNN and users of Time Online from around the globe. He was recognized
as the century's outstanding performer, with nearly 18% of the total
vote, edging out Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.
He is the founder of Aznavour for Armenia charitable organization
along with his long-time friend and impresario Levon Sayan.
In December 2008, Azvavour acquired Armenian citizenship.
