SIR - I had the pleasure of seeing Charles Aznavour in concert at the Wakefield Theatre Club in 1975. He had been at Number 1 in the charts with his song She which was the theme of the TV series The Seven Faces of Women .

He made over 60 films and wrote songs for many other artists such as Edith Piaf and Maurice Chevalier.

Charles was from a very poor background and only received a basic education but he never forgot his roots, and worked tirelessly for the Armenian people and became permanent ambassador of the Armenian republic of Unesco.

He also had a love for England's small town and villages, drinking tea, eating scones and visiting antique shops.

He hoped to live to 100 but died six years short, but his contribution to music was immense.
