Singer and performer Mika was a pen pal to Françoise Hardy. He paid tribute to the French icon. He told Newshour's James Menendez that she may have been a star of the screen and a muse to fashion designers, but her true greatness lay in her ability to write brilliant songs. "She was a great melodist and a lyricist and that's where it all stems from. The bedrock is writing credible lyrics and music." (Photo: Françoise Hardy on a visit to the UK. Credit: Â鶹Éç)
