Charles Aznavour died today at age 94.

Aznavour, who was born Shahnour Varinag Aznavourian in Paris to Armenian parents, sold more than 100m records in 80 countries and had about 1,400 songs to his name, including 1,300 he wrote himself. He was sometimes described as the French Sinatra because of his stirring, melancholic style.

Over the years he recorded duets with the likes of Sinatra, Elton John, Céline Dion, Liza Minelli, Josh Groban, Bryan Ferry and Sting, as well as the classical tenors Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo. He opened for Édith Piaf at the Moulin Rouge. He was granted a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2017.

One of his most popular songs was "She". Listen to him here:
