Nicole Croisille, whose six-decade career spanned music, dance, film and theatre, was best known internationally for the soundtrack of the 1966 film A Man and a Woman – inscribing the refrain "chabadabada" into the pantheon of French song. "All I like is a good laugh," she said, as she continued to work well into her 80s.
Croisille died in Paris on Tuesday night, "following a long illness" her agent Jacques Metges announced on Wednesday.
