Back in the day, I listened to Piaf incessantly. Of course then, I was enrolled in a high school French course, and Piaf’s tales of abusive lovers and heroin addiction were heady stuff for a kid coming of age in the 60s.
Not long ago, I rolled into the bookstore and picked up a CD of Piaf’s best - -The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf - - as my vinyls were long-gone. Listening to her tunes was magic - not only did it take me back to my own coming of age days, it reminded me of how much I loved her gritty, no-holds barred music.
If you haven’t listened to Piaf, get yourself over to Amazon or your local bookseller and pick up this CD. You don’t even need to know any French to recognize the pain and suffering of France’s legendary Little Sparrow.
Stumble it!
