 | | Anna Marly, the Russian-born but French-raised composer of The Chant, passed away on February 16 at the age of 88. |
 | | The reason is that Marly originally had composed the song in 1942 with lyrics in her native Russian language. |
 | | Marly, whose Chant had earned her the nickname, "Troubadour of the Resistance," starred in a long series of victory galas, celebrations and performances immediately after France's Liberation, but, after a time, she decided to move on again, with her guitar, to continue her singing career elsewhere in Europe and both Americas. |
