"Vue "Intégrale" is a collection of her recordings she did in France for the label Barclay, and it's pretty remarkable in its sophistication in the Yé-Yé pop song market. The fact that she co-wrote or wrote these songs are pretty amazing in itself. Oddly enough, she is unknown, except for those who are obsessed with French pop from the 1960s, and of course her film appearances in such cult classics. I think it's more than Hill being in the right place and time; she truly had the stars above her lead her to interesting aspects of the French and British entertainment world. Beautiful as Bardot, Hills expressed an urgency and restlessness in her approach to the recording arts as well as film. A remarkable talent at an exceptional time in cultural history. It's time to rediscover her work.
