Catalog Number: DMOO 074LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 8055515235494 One of the most celebrated vocalists of the 20th Century and the best-known French singer of all time, the iconic cabaret and chanson performer Edith Piaf had an incredible life and an equally amazing career. Abandoned by her mother at birth and raised partly in a brothel by her granny, Piaf began performing in her father's acrobatic street troupe as a teen and made her name in occupied Paris. For 1958's Piaf! her torch-song deliveries are aided by the subtle strings of the Orchestra of Robert Chauvigny; if you're an Edith Piaf fan there is plenty to savor here, especially "En Pourtant," "Les Orgues De Barbarie," and "Le Gitan Et La Fille."
