Free Music Review: Carter misses Edith Piaf
Hit: 5 Stars
The CD rendition was a wonderful production of Edith's popular old songs. She has a very powerful voice and all of the tones and feelings came through - just like when I first came to know her songs in the late '50s.Free Music Review: An Incident In The Life
Hit: 5 Stars
Marcel Cerdan, the French middleweight boxer and one of Piaf's many lovers, wrote in his autobiography about the first time he saw her perform in a cellar cafe in Paris. This short,ordinary-appearing woman in her trademark long black dress and pale makeup was mesmerizing.
She used no microphone, her strong voice with that remarkable plaintive , quivering sound echoed off the walls of the dingy
cafe.
During one of her songs, Cerdan wrote, he began to look at the other members of her audience. He realized ,at that moment, every male watching her had fallen in love with Edith Piaf.
Had I been there I would have loved her too.
Free Music Review: Excellent!

Like so many others, I was first introduced to Edith Piaf in french class. I never quite understood what she sang of, but I felt it. Her distinct voice guarantees you will never forget or mistaken her for anyone else.Free Music Review: Better late than never

I have just discovered Edith Piaf. I had bought a DVD called "Forgotten Broadway". One on of the tracks it has her signature song from her life story musical "Piaf." I have loved Broadway for years but i guess she was much before my time.
What a discovery! I've been reading everything i can get my hands on about her and her life. Her voice and songs are amazing and it's funny how many of her songs now that i've discovered her, i have heard many times before.
This CD is wonderful and has many of the songs that i've heard as a child and now becoming extremely found of. What a joy it must have been to see this amazing tragic women in person. All of her songs are so heart felt and give me goose-bumps. I have always found French music to be so romantic anyway and this CD really does it for me. Enjoy it with a nice glass of red wine.
