I always love a good family connection and Michel Legrand comes from a very musical family. His father Raymond Legrand was also a bandleader (but without much of a recorded footprint for a Tour stop) and his mother was the sister of a famous conductor, Jacques Hélian. Christiane Legrand, Michel's sister, was a popular singer who first started her career as a member of various vocal groups. The first vocal group she was a part of was Les Blue Stars and known in English-speaking markets as The Blue Stars of France. They released their first album Les Blue Stars in 1954.
Here is the (probably incomplete) discography surrounding Les Blue Stars:
Les Blue Stars
Lullaby of Birdland (1955 single)
Les Blue Stars (1956 EP)
Lullaby of Birdland and Other Hits by The Blue Stars of France (1956 compilation album as The Blue Stars of France)
"Tous bas, tous bas" by Les Blue Stars
