Georges Diran Garvarentz (Armenian: Ժորժ Տիրան Կառվարենց, 1 April 1932 - 19 March 1993) was an Armenian-French composer, noted for his music for films and Charles Aznavour's songs.   In 1956 Georges met Charles Aznavour and started writing music for his songs. Together they wrote over 100 songs, including "Prends garde à toi" (1956), "Et pourtant" (1962), "Il faut saisir sa chance" (1962), "Retiens la nuit" (1962), "La plus belle pour aller danser" (1964), "Hier encore" (1964), "Paris au mois d'août" ("Paris in August", 1966), "Une vie d'amour" (1980).   The period from the latter half of the 1980s until Garvarentz’s death in 1993 represented one of the most productive and enduring periods of collaboration with Aznavour. Despite Charles then approaching 70 years of age and having already long been an established star with a repertoire of recognisable classics and hits, Garvarentz’s and Aznavour’s works of this epoch yielded a wave of more musically contemporary works that came to enjoy equal billing alongside Aznavour’s earlier successes: two albums’ worth of new songs composed by Garvarentz and written by Aznavour were recorded in 1986 and released as the albums «Aznavour 1986: Je bois» that same year and «Embrasse-moi» in 1987, which gave rise to numerous songs that would become staples of Aznavour’s concert performances for the rest of his career, including Je me raccroche à toi, Je bois, Les émigrants, Une idée, and others. This was followed in 1991 by the album «Aznavour 92» and its new songs Vous et tu, Napoli chante and La Marguerite. Their final new works of the era were on Aznavour’s 1994 album «Toi et moi» (released in 1995 in the anglophone world as «You and Me»); Garvarentz’s last collaboration with Aznavour, the song Ton doux visage, was released on this album.
