New York times (online), viewed May 6, 2015 (in obituary published May 5: Patachou; b. Henriette Eugénie Jeanne Ragon, June 10, 1918, Paris; d. Thursday [Apr. 30, 2015], Neuilly-sur-Seine, aged 96; Parisian chanteuse who "built a reputation on an offbeat name, a penchant for guillotining men's ties, and the fact that she does not look, act, or croon like Édith Piaf," as The New York times put it in 1958; her stage name was a condensation of "pâte à choux")
