BARBARA, 67, A FRENCH SINGER WHO WROTE MELANCHOLIC SONGS

The French singer and songwriter known simply as Barbara, who earned a huge following in the French-speaking world for her melancholic lyrics and melodies, died on Monday in the American Hospital in Paris. She was 67.

Doctors gave the cause as acute pulmonary infection.

A slim woman with short hair and strikingly dark eyes who always appeared on stage dressed in black, Barbara belonged to the tradition of French-language singers like Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and Leo Ferre for whom music was to a large measure a vehicle for poetry, sometimes humorous, more often nostalgic or even tragic.

Barbara, whose real name was Monique Serf, began her career in the 1950's performing songs by Brel and Brassens, but she made her name in the 1960's with her own songs, songs that remain popular to this day, among them ''L'Aigle Noir'' (''Black Eagle''), ''Ma plus belle histoire d'amour, c'est vous'' (''You are my most beautiful love story''), ''Il Pleut sur Nantes'' (''It's Raining in Nantes'') and ''Gottingen.''

Her death prompted an outpouring of tributes in France. ''She was talent, intensity, stage presence, passion, the passion of her words and rhythms, but also pure passion,'' President Jacques Chirac said today. Prime Minister Lionel Jospin said she was ''a woman who knew suffering and understood the suffering of others,'' an apparent reference to her work for victims of AIDS. The former Culture Minister, Jack Lang, spoke of her ''unusual, mysterious and generous'' personality.

Barbara was born on June 9, 1930, in Paris. She studied the piano and voice as a teen-ager, but she dropped out of the Paris Music Conservatory to make her own career as a singer when she was only 19. Working in small theaters in Paris and Brussels, she made her first record in 1957. But it was in the early 1960's, with her own songs, that she joined Edith Piaf and Juliette Greco as a Left Bank favorite.

Her career peaked in the late 1960's and 70's, but she continued to draw large crowds to her concert series at Paris theaters, among them the Chatelet in 1987 and 1993 and the Mogador in 1990. In 1986, she directed a musical, ''Lily Passion,'' starring Gerard Depardieu. From 1987, she also became involved in the battle against AIDS, distributing condoms at her concerts and visiting the ailing in hospital.

Between 1980 and 1996, she produced no new records. She also announced her retirement from the stage in March 1994. But last year, she completed a final record, called simply ''Barbara,'' which was well received by French music critics. In her final years, her voice had lost much of its early purity, but it retained its dark passion, more than enough for her legions of fans here.

Barbara never married and left no survivors.

Barbara had a deep impact in her audiences: she offered herself almost like in a sacrifice of intimacy; she was very powerful but also delicate. Songs like "Nantes", "A mourir pour mourir", "Le sommeil", "Le mal de vivre",etc are ranged between the best achievement in french music.

TRANSLATING FROM 1996 FROM THIS SITE
In January she decided to record a new studio album.
During February and March she writes and composes new songs.
A Précy in Grange wolf, it organizes rehearsals with the band in June and July.
On 19 August she joined in the studio (in Suresnes Méga) to record the titles.
In September she poses for a photo shoot for the cover of the disc. The meeting lasted 25 minutes.
On 12 October the last meeting of the mix.
November 6, the hard fate in the trade. She donated the copyright of the song The corridor to Act Up.
In December 1996 she decided to start writing his "memoirs". To do this it takes contact with people she has lost sight of over the years.
