Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0724359386225 Label: Angel Records Manufacturer: Angel Records MPN: 93862 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Angel Records Release Date: February 24, 2004 Studio: Angel Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Frankly, it feels a bit weird to listen to Edith Piaf perform in English. There aren't many singers so associated with a country as Piaf is with France. And yet she did record some of her hits in English in an attempt to facilitate her career in the United States. While newcomers to the singer's oeuvre should start with her French albums, this CD is fascinating for advanced Piaf listeners. Most of the sides were cut 1950 and show Piaf in fine vocal form on tracks such as "La vie en rose" (she switched from English to French for the title) and "Autumn Leaves" ("Les feuilles mortes"), a strangely compelling hybrid that alternates between French and English. Piaf was certainly more at ease singing in French, but her charismatic sense of drama could break through in just about any language. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Album Description: 2003 compilation features material recorded in English & a live version of 'Heureuse'.

She died when I was 21, but I have enjoyed hearing her sing from the time I was about 12, maybe earlier. One does not need to understand the words in her songs to appreciate the power and feeling she puts into all her work; the meaning is clear enough. Rating: - Power-House Singer!!!HYMN TO LOVE:ALL HER GREATEST SONGS IN ENGLISH by Edith Piaf is a wonderful cd for the English translations of some of her most famous songs. Piaf is another one of those songbirds who have distinctive voices. In either French or English, she sounds like Piaf. Her French accent makes these songs all the more alluring, and I love the English versions of "La Vie En Rose," "No Regrets" and "Autumn Leaves." Of course the versions of these songs are not to replace ...
