Edith Piaf - Hymne à la môme (2012 Remastered) '2020

Tracks list

Edith Piaf (December 19, 1915 - October 11, 1963) was one of Frances most
beloved singers, with much success shortly before and during World War II. Her
music reflected her tragic life, with her specialty being the poignant ballad
presented with a heartbreaking voice. The most famous songs performed by Piaf
were La Vie en Rose (1946), Milord (1959), and Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien (1960).

She was born dith Giovanna Gassion in Paris, France; her mother worked as a cafe
singer and her father was a well-known travelling acrobat. Abandoned by her
mother, she was raised by her paternal grandmother, who ran a brothel in
Normandy. From age 3 to 7, she was blind. As part of dith Piafs legend, she
allegedly recovered her sight after her grandmothers prostitutes went to a
pilgrimage to Saint Thrse de Lisieux. Later she lived for a while with her
alcoholic father, whom she left by age 15 to become a street singer in Paris.

In 1935, dith was discovered by the nightclub owner Louis Leple whose club was
frequented by the upper and lower classes alike. He convinced dith to sing
despite her extreme nervousness, and gave her the nickname that would stay with
her for the rest of her life: La Mome Piaf (The Little Sparrow). From this she
took her stage name. Her first record was produced in the same year. Shortly
thereafter, Leple was murdered and Piaf was accused of being an accessory; she
was acquitted.

In 1940, Jean Cocteau wrote the successful play Le Bel Indifferent for her to
star in. She began to make friends with famous people, such as the actor Maurice
Chevalier and the poet Jacques Borgeat.

She wrote her signature song, La Vie en Rose, in the middle of the German
occupation in World War II. During this time, she was in great demand and very
successful. Singing for high-ranking Germans at the One Two Two Club earned dith
Piaf the right to pose for photos with French prisoners of war, ostensibly as a
morale-boosting exercise. Once in possession of their celebrity photos,
prisoners were able to cut out their own images and use them in forged papers as
part of escape plans. Today, dith Piafs association with the French Resistance
is well known and many owe their lives to her. After the war, dith toured
Europe, the United States, and South America, becoming an internationally known
figure.

She helped to launch the career of Charles Aznavour, taking him on tour with her
in France and to the United States.

Piaf had one child, a daughter, Marcelle, who died at the age of two in 1935;
the childs father was Louis Dupont. The great love of Piafs life, the boxer
Marcel Cerdan, died in 1949. Piaf was married twice. Her first husband was
Jacques Pills, a singer; they married in 1952 and divorced in 1956. Her second
husband, Theophanis Lamboukas (a.k.a. Tho Sarapo), was a 20-years-younger
hairdresser turned singer and actor; they married in 1962.

The Paris Olympia is the place where dith Piaf achieved fame and where, just a
few months before her death, she gave one of her most memorable concerts while
barely able to stand. In early 1963, dith recorded her last song, Lhomme de
Berlin.

Piaf died of cancer in Cannes on October 11, 1963, the same day as her friend
Jean Cocteau. She was buried in the Pre Lachaise Cemetery, Paris. Although
forbidden a Mass by the Roman Catholic archbishop of Paris (because of her
lifestyle), her funeral procession drew hundreds of thousands of mourners onto
the streets of Paris and the ceremony at the cemetery was jammed with more than
forty thousand fans. Charles Aznavour recalled that Piafs funeral procession was
the only time, since the end of World War II, that Parisian traffic came to a
complete stop.

There is a museum dedicated to Piaf, the Muse dith Piaf at 5, rue Crespin du
Gast, 75011, Paris.

Today she is still remembered and revered as one of the greatest singers France
has ever produced. Her life was one of sharp contrasts: the range of her fame as
opposed to her tragic personal life, and her fragile small figure on stage with
the resounding power of her voice.
