Lizzy Mercier Descloux (1956-2004) was a French singer born in Paris. A Lyon-born art school dropout and devotee of Rimbaud and Godard, she was every bit the romantic French archetype, as well as an innovator and witness to numerous pivotal moments in musical and cultural history. She died in obscurity in April 2004, twenty years after what was ostensibly her musical heyday. Descloux saw Patti Smith and Television at CBGBs and Basquiat at the Kitchen. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Lizzy+M
