...makes me wish I spoke French. :o



I'm in love with her voice.

    She was one of the greatest artists ever. Really amazing voice and, from what I've read and heard, amazing performances too...

    Little Sparrow.

    My dearly departed dad had a cassette or 2 of hers back in the day, nice memories.

    She is also mentioned in a scene in Saving Private Ryan.

    Yesterday while completing pool workouts with my patient we listened to the best of EDITH PIAF.[/b] Her beautiful French voice sounded so good during our workouts and here's a trailer to a new release on her life called La Vie En Rose. I saw the movie twice and she lived a hellish life and still made something of herself and such a powerful voice.
