         Carla Gilberta Bruni Tedeschi Sarkozy (Turim23 de dezembro de 1967), é uma supermodelocantoracompositora e atriz italiana, de ascendência francesa.
            Desde 2008 está casada com o 23.° presidente da FrançaNicolas Sarkozy, tendo sido a primeira-dama do país até 2012.
      Nascida no norte da Itália, Carla sempre foi apaixonada por música desde a infância, devido à influência de sua mãe, visto que é filha da pianista Marisa Borini, que era casada com Alberto Bruni Tedeschi, um colecionador de artes, dono de indústrias e também compositor de música clássica.
 Carla, apesar de ser italiana, possui ascendência francesa, visto que sua avó materna era francesa e imigrou para a Itália no início do século XX. A artista é oriunda de uma família ligada à CEAT (fábrica italiana de pneus) e à ENI (petrolífera italiana, outrora estatal), Bruni foi com os pais e os irmãos para um exílio na França em 1975, fugindo das Brigadas Vermelhas, organização terrorista de cunho marxista que recorreu a sequestros e assassinatos naquele período da história italiana. Passou a infância em Paris e  a adolescência      em Berna, na Suíça. Aos 18 anos voltou a viver na França, onde iniciou o curso de moda na Universidade de Sorbonne, não tendo concluído por opção.
      Carla é a filha mais nova. Seus irmãos são: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, nascida em 1966, e Virgínio Bruni Tedeschi, nascido em 1959, que faleceu em julho de 2006, por um conjunto de doenças oportunistas decorrentes do HIV, o que abalou toda a família.
            Devido a uma reportagem da revista Vanity Fair, ficou-se sabendo que Carla Bruni descobriu, em 1996, não ser filha do homem que sempre acreditou ser seu pai. Acabou sabendo por sua mãe que seu pai biológico é o empresário italiano, que vive no Brasil desde os anos 1970, Maurizio Remmert. "Quando [o pai que a criou] estava doente, Marisa [sua mãe] contou a Carla quem era seu pai. Foi uma conversa de adultas, entre mãe e filha", afirmou Maurizio, Carla cuidou de seu pai no leito de morte, e descobriu que desde sua adolescência ele havia descoberto não ser o seu pai biológico, mas que perdoou a traição de sua mãe para ficar perto de seus filhos. Com o tempo, Carla conseguiu perdoar a mãe por tê-lhe escondido essa informação. Ela descobriu que seu pai biológico sempre soube da verdade, mas por insistência de sua mãe em permanecer casada, pediu que ele fosse embora, pois, segundo sua mãe, não haveria possibilidade de futuro na relação dos dois, que foi casual e resultou numa gravidez inesperada. Na época sua mãe tinha 32 anos, pianista, casada e com dois filhos, e seu pai biológico era um estudante universitário de apenas 19 anos sem emprego fixo. Além de descobrir que seus dois irmãos na verdade são seus meio-irmãos maternos, descobriu também possuir uma meia-irmã paterna, chamada Consuelo Remmert.
              French Touch is the fifth studio album by Italian-French singer Carla Bruni, released on 6 October 2017 by Teorema and Barclay.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Givin' all your love to just one man
You'll have the bad times
And he'll have the good times
Doing things that you don't understand

But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand, mm, mm
And if you love him, oh, be proud of him
'Cause after all, he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can, mm, mm
Stand by your man, hmm, hmm

Stand by your man (Ooh, ooh)
And show the world you love him (Ooh, ooh)
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man, mm, mm, mm

            Wynette estudou na Bellflower High School. Um mês antes de se formar, e meses antes de seu aniversário de 18 anos, se casou com seu primeiro marido, Euple Byrd. Ele era um pedreiro, mas tinha problemas em se manter em um emprego, e eles se mudavam diversas vezes. Wynette trabalhou como garçonete e recepcionista, além de trabalhar em uma fábrica de sapatos. Em 1963, ela frequentou uma escola de beleza em TupeloMississippi, onde se tornou cabeleireira. Ela continuou a renovar sua licença de cosmetologia por vários anos, mesmo depois do sucesso - caso alguma coisa acontecesse.
           Ela deixou Euple antes do nascimento de sua terceira filha, que desenvolveu meningite. Wynette tentou ganhar um dinheiro extra se apresentando a noite. Segundo Wynette, Euple não apoiava suas ambições de se tornar uma cantora country, e quando foi embora, Euple lhe disse, "Vai sonhando", Anos mais tarde, ele apareceu em um dos shows de Wynette e pediu um autógrafo. Ela assinou "Vai sonhando".

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman

Doin' things that you don't understand

And if you love him, oh be proud of him

'Cause after all he's just a man.

Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to

And something warm to come to

When nights are cold and lonely.

Stand by your man, and show the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can.

Stand by your man.

Stand by your man, and show the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can.

Stand by your man.

I woke up early this morning 'round 4 a.m.
With the moon shining bright
As headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head
And tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake

Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's okay
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
(I guess I'm)
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist

It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
But don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact, I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

Oh, oh
And you're gonna think of me, mmm yeah

Ooh, stop me baby
Someday
Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Darlin, think of me
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Baby, darlin', no, oh, oh
Doo, doo, doo, oh, oh!

She walks to school with the lunch
She packed
Nobody knows what she's
Holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress
She wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen
And lace

The teacher wonders but she
Doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain
Behind the mask
Bearing the burden
Of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was
Never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle
Of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn
Out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands
Of fate
When morning comes
It'll be too late

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel.
