Nostalgia

About the Artist
Given her genealogy, the present success of Amy Hanaialii should come as no surprise. Her fourth album, Nostalgia allows for growth and shows off her talents in all the different music genres in which she excels.

Amy is the granddaughter of Jennie Napua Woodd. During the 1930's and 40's Jennie was one of the original Royal Hawaiian Girls who defined America's perception of Hawaiian music and dance at the height of its popularity. While Amy had received years of formal training in European classical music and musical theatre, it was her tt, Jennie, who inspired her to continue on with Hawaiian music. Recognizing her natural vocal abilities, Tutu arranged for a meeting between the legendary Genoa Keawe and Amy. It was Auntie Genoa that introduced Amy to the hai falsetto music style. While her Hawaiian roots were strong, so was her desire to pursue all types of music...the European classical music, jazz, blues, American standards and pop.

In 1995 she recorded her first album on her own. Her determination to forge ahead in her career was evident. Having her first album introduced to Jon de Mello, Jon signed Amy to his Mountain Apple Company record label after hearing bits of her first album over the phone. Jon was searching for a way to merge her unquestioned vocal talents with the music of Hawaii. How to accomplish that remained a mystery.

There was still a missing piece that would have to be found before an Amy Hnaiali'i Hawaiian album could be born. Her vocal qualities were unique and disciplined. Jon recognized she could become the next Hawaiian diva.

The mystery was solved one night when Amy sat in with the incredible Uncle Willie K. Willie was shocked that this haole looking lady could hold her own -- he tried but couldn't ruffle her musically. She knew the lyrics, she sensed where he going with his arrangements and followed with ease. The rest of this story is history in the making.

From their first recording session to the present day, the public has accepted their combined talents with a hunger that is normally reserved for rock stars and their fans.

When Amy & Willie first worked together magic happened. When they arrived at the Mountain Apple Company studios, magic took the shape of something that was destined to become one of the great success stories of the 1990's in Hawaii.

From their first album, Hawaiian Tradition, the public responded in the same way. The music that resulted from that first recording session struck a chord with Amy, Willie and eventually, the public. Her acceptance and success, in a genre of music that was waning, confirmed that with the right combination you can introduce a new generation to musical styles that long seemed dormant. Hai was not only once again discovered, but enhanced.

The connection with her audiences was immediate and profound. Be it in concert where Amy & Willie were part comedy team and part virtuoso musicians or on radio. Both the public and Amy & Willie understood the appeal of this music. As Amy continued to apply her training, new original music emanated from her. This music found it's way to her second collaboration with Willie K., Hanaiali'i. Now her fourth album, Nostalgia, displays her talent in a new light and from a new perspective.

Amy Hanaiali'i grew up on Maui longing for the success of a New York musical career... only to find that success in Hawaii performing the songs that dominated the club scene of NY in the 30's and 40's, the golden age of her grandmother's Hawaiian music. History repeats itself....Nostalgia....all over again. BAND_MEMBERS: Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom (vocals); Willie K (guitars, 'ukulele, bass, percussion); Bobby Ingano (steel guitar); Marcus Johnson (bass); Sal Godinez (piano); James Ganeko (drums); Milan Bertosa (accordian)

Product Description
All 12 of the songs featured on "Nostalgia" have been meticulously researched and interpreted into the Hawaiian language. Amy Hanaialii combines her classical vocal training with the Hawaiian traditional art of falsetto singing in these alluring sounds of the past with a fresh interpretation. Willie K lends his incredible arrangements to each song in a diverse range that promises something for everyone.

From the fun-loving, energetic "Rock-A-Hula Baby" to the bluesy, sultry "Beyond the Reef" and to the classic strains of "Aloha Oe," this album is a must-have for Hawaiian language enthusiasts, fans of old Hawaii, and anyone with a passion and longing for the tropical sunsets, white sandy beaches, trade winds and "Nostalgia" of Hawaii.

Amazon.com essential recording

The voice of Edith Piaf carries with it perhaps more national identity than that of any other recorded artist in the world. Tiny, frail, and tragic in her life, Piaf brought French identity to the rest of the world in a way that was understandable to all. Known as "the Little Sparrow" in her country, her voice was strong, bold, and passionate, even as she grew more infirm. The archetypical torch singer, she had massive popular success with songs like "Milord," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," and "La Vie, L'Amour," included here with 18 other classics. While this is a great compilation of some of her best material, the complete lack of enclosed notes or biographical material may frustrate those not familiar with her fascinating career. However, the work of one of the most original songbirds of all time speaks loud and clear for itself. --Derek Rath

Customer Reviews:

The more you listen, the more you love.......2007-08-02

I have been a fan of Edith Piaf for about 15 years when I first "discovered" her. Although I have been to visit her grave in Paris some time ago, for some strange reason I had not personally purchased her music until now. The more I listen to this CD, the more fascinated I have become - her voice and the sheer power of it is so poigniant! Listening to her while driving my convertible on a lovely summer evening is just the best. I have purchased this CD to send to my son who is in the military, a multiple time Iraq veteran and recently commissioned officer - he speaks fluent French and I have told him that altho I know he will understand the words much better than I do, there is no mistaking the sentiment and meaning of every song she sings. I highly recommend this CD!

Excellent Selections of Her Recordings.......2007-07-26

This Edith Piaf collection is great. She recorded a tremendous amount of music. This CD captures the best of her recordings.

She said about her singing better than anyone ever would,.......2007-07-17

"For me, singing is a way of escaping. It is another world. I'm no longer on earth." When I hear her singing, I am no longer in my world, I am in the world of music, love, passion, irony and humor, breaking hearts and smiles through the tears, love found and lost forever but never in the world of regrets. She always looked the life in the eye and she regretted nothing. She was a small woman (1 m 42 cm) with the greatest, strongest, and most recognizable voice around the globe. Her voice with the "r" rolled in such manner that it would make your spine to vibrate, effortlessly takes you out of your realty to the place and time that have long gone but will be forever alive in her songs, "La vie en rose, "Milord," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," "C'est L'Amour (It's Love), and many more. "The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf" delivers the promises of its title, its 18 songs are among the best and most famous of Edith Piaf but they are just a little part of the singer's body of work which spans over almost 30 years and includes hundreds of songs, over 80 of which she had composed herself.

"The little sparrow" ,Edith Piaf sings her best hits!.......2007-06-26

This Cd has all of Edith's best known hits, sung by "the little sparrow" herself.

The re-recordings are quite excellent....well done....smooth and crisp.

The songs are well chosen and nicely arranged in sequence.

Edith`s voice sounds as good as ever in this BEST HITS Cd.

A fantastic compilation.......2007-06-23

Edith Piaf's voice is like no others. It is husky yet brash, sultry and deep. Hearing this music takes you to another place. She was a fantastic singer with a wonderful low range a great cd.

Customer Reviews:

I love the music on this disc.......2007-07-14

Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford are legends in jazz music. My favorite track on this disc is "I'm Sitting On The Top Of The World." Nobody could play the electric guitar as masterfully as Les Paul. Mary Paul's voice is so sensual on the track "I'm A Fool To Care." I love this track. "Tennessee Waltz" and "Vaya Con Dios" are classic romantic tunes. These tracks makes me think of someone special. "In The Mood" is another excellent song that puts me in a great mood. "Bye Bye Blues" is an uptempo track that stands out as one of the best here. "I Really Don't Want To Know" is a pretty song. I love the tenderness in Mary Ford's voice on this track. This disc is filled with great music.

nedenny.......2006-07-04

This must be one of the best CD's available letting new comers to LP&MF hear some of their best tracks from the 50's and they have not dated since then. Unfortunately CAPITAL in their wisdom have omitted others which should have been included. I can name but a few:- La Rossita - Mac the Knife - Three little words - Magic Melody - Hold me in your arms - Old Mexico - What is this thing called love - Walking & Whistling Blues - I'm Jealous - By the light of the Silvery Moon - Chicken Reel. and I'm sure there's more. So it looks like we'll have to wait till Les reaches his 100th Birthday before we see a Box Set.
I am tempted to wait - that's if I can manage to live as long as Les. He's doing great, and I hope he will still be playing when he reaches 100! Well done mate!

Must have.......2005-11-02

The recordings sound very modern. You can't tell this wasn't recorded yesterday; just listen to the samples. Les Paul had an inimitable guitar style. The man was the master, and teamed with the easy, lilting style of Mary Ford AKA (Iris) Colleen Summers (who started out in Western music), how could they not score? This music, while a product of its era, is timeless. This is perfection. This is the stuff dreams are made of. I usually review Classical music, but what can be more classic than this?

I only regret that a box set is not available, since I love everything that Les Paul and Mary Ford ever waxed. A particular favorite of mine that is missing is the Hawaiian love song, "The Moon of Manakoora". It is every bit as beautiful as the version recorded by Alfred Ahola Apaka, the crooning voice of Hawaii, and is recorded better. There are other notable omissions that I won't tire you with here, but this is the best set available until a box set is released. Absolutely wonderful music making. Curl up to the fire and warm with it; You'll love how it gets you in the mood.

Wonderful Compilation of Edith Piaf.......2007-03-09

Such a pleasure to hear so many songs that Ms. Piaf made famous especially, "Milord", "La Vie En Rose", and "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien". A great compilation! I only wish a word booklet had been included, but you can't have everything. Ms. Piaf's voice is more than enough!

Eternelle.......2007-02-17

The songs are wonderful, Edith Piaf has a beautiful voice. The songs are sung in French, a masterpiece.

Customer Reviews:

Horrible Quality!!!!.......2007-08-01

This has to be the worse CD I've ever listened to. What a disgrace to use these very talented people to sell a reproduction of this poor quality by these history making musicians.... Sounds like a little child's toy guitar was use....It's Tinny and the speed is to fast.... Sounds like when you run a 33 1/3 at 45.... A Real Shame... Buy something else... Doesn't even deserve 1 star....

Excellent.......2007-03-25

I just received this in the mail; had ordered it
specifically for the tracks "Josephine" and "Little
Rock Getaway" which, among other titles, were in my
late dad's record collection. "Walkin' and Whistlin'
Blues" I had heard on an album about 20 years ago.
Talk about memories.

What's interesting about this collection, as other
reviewers have noted, is that it contains mostly
Les Paul instrumentals--not quite so much Mary Ford
(curiously, "Jealous" has been included, which was
not one of their hits, but was on the flip-side of
one of their better-known tracks--possibly "How High
The Moon", but I'm not sure). For those of you who
want more of Mary's vocals, I recommened that you bypass
this CD and get "The best of the Capitol masters--90th
birthday edition"(I have a previously-releaesd version
of this CD, which only contains the tracks from "Lover"
to "Hummingbird", plus some of the funniest liner notes
from Les himself that I've ever read! I don't know if
the liner notes were retained). I believe another reviewer
wrote about the sound quality. Personally, I believe
"Josephine" sounds EXACTLY as it did on my dad's 45.
Preserving artistic integrity is usually the goal when
reissuing analog-recorded music, and EMI/Capitol has
done a fabulous job here in my opinion. It's also noteworthy
that, with the exception of "The Kangaroo" and "Mandolino",
this CD contains all of Les's HIT instrumentals, plus other
good tunes, like his take on Duke Ellington's "Caravan", an
interesting version of "The Man On The Flying Trapeze", etc.
Many of his instrumentals were on flip-sides of the vocal
records with Mary. And how Les could play that guitar, not
to mention the overdubbing which STILL sounds state-of-the-
art to me! Thank you, Amazon.

One of My favorites.......2007-02-09

This is the Album for Les Paul And Mary Ford Fans.
Brilliant guitar solos and amazing harmony vocals.
Thirty songs each unique to the Les Paul and Mary Ford style.
One of my favorite albums.

Really takes me back!.......2005-10-07

I loved their music as a kid and I still love it. True that a little more singing from Mary would be good, but almost all the best is there now. Considering how many songs they both did, you can't expect to have it all on one CD. And yes, Waiting For The Sunrise and How High The Moon are their 2 all-time greatest and still beautiful to listen to. The jazz guitar is amazing. Les WAS a jazz guitarist, so if you don't like listening to superb guitar work, then I guess you wouldn't like this recording. For those of us who "remember when", it's THEM, and no doubt of it.

For those who admire jazz.......2005-04-01

I bought this CD mainly because I have enjoyed another collection CD, "16 Most Requested Songs (1958-1961)". But this collection left me a bit rather frustrated. True, there are 30 fantastic tracks on this CD covering the "golden" era of Les Paul and Mary Ford (1949-1955). Yet it means the quality of the remastered tracks is unsteady and stylistically it appeals to jazz listeners, rather than pop. But mostly I was disappointed because of these 30 tracks only 9 contain Mary's vocal. Also there's no information given on the tracks or anything.

If you admire the jazz side of Les Paul, then you would enjoy it very much. But I'm going to look for something more pop-orientated and with more vocal contribution from Mary, maybe more of their Columbia period (1957-1963).

Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers. His soundtracks for The Mission, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace. They not only add atmosphere; they help tell the story. For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores, adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma, whose musical curiosity seems to be endless. Outside the films, these pieces tend to be lovely melodies, mostly pretty sentimental stuff, and, in the best way, gorgeous aural wallpaper. The most moving are the two selections from The Mission, but fans of Morricone's music will find plenty to enjoy here. Ma's playing, as always, is exquisite---warm, deeply felt (given the circumstances), and entirely idiomatic within the context. Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover, but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

Is it bad to say I like this better than the original soundtrack?.......2007-06-02

I never thought Yo-Yo Ma would do Gabriel's Oboe (Track 1) from THE MISSION justice, but I was wrong. There's a pureness to this version that makes it easier casual listening than the version(s) on the soundtrack CD itself. So no matter how much I love the theatrical "largeness" of the Original Soundtrack (not to mention the full choir), this is the version I grab for the CD player/iPod/whatever.

My two other recommendations are Main Theme from ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (Track 11) and Ecstasy of Gold from THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (Track 12). I suggest playing these consecutively as a single medley. Track 11 *WILL* bring tears to the manliest among us --particularly if you remember in the movie where Sergio Leone pulls the camera up to reveal the town rising.

I get the feeling "hardcore" classical fans would dismiss movie scores as commercial work. I truly believe Ennio Morricone transcends that. Even moreso than, say, John Williams, and on a different plane than a Danny Elfman. And I can't say more about the emotion Yo-Yo Ma brings to the table than what's already been discussed.

Absolutely Exquisite.......2007-05-15

The combination of Morricone and Ma is pure perfection. This CD fills my heart with so much joy that I could just cry. I listen to it almost daily and have given it away as a gift to my loved ones. I am captivated by their incredible talents, and I know you will be too.

Yo Yo Ma and the Maestro Marvelous!!!.......2007-05-13

Having recently succumbed to Yo Yo Ma after a longtime love of Ennio Marricone I was excited to get this CD from Amazon. It is superb! All of the songs had to be recrafted by Morricone to suit Yo Yo Ma but it is a great listen as you sonically travel down memory lane through some of Maestro Moricone's musical marvels. "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission" now becomes "Gabriel's Cello." I laugh as Yo Yo Ma bows his brains out on the "Ecstacy of Gold' from "The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly." I recommend this to all Yo Yo Ma and Morricone fans...a great listen. Soothing after a hard day!

Better Every Time.......2007-05-09

This CD gets better with every listening. It was a great purchase.

Fabulous CD.......2007-05-07

I love Morricone and this CD has some of the best versions of my favorite pieces. I have ordered several as gifts for friends.

Amazon.com essential recording

Abandoned as a baby and raised in a brothel, Piaf was dicovered singing in the streets of Paris by a club owner, who started her 30-year career during which time she became France's best-loved and best-known songstress, with major hits from beginning to end. At times singing in front of the band with no microphone, her powerful voice and emotional delivery was a striking contrast to her diminutive size. Nicknamed "the Little Sparrow," Piaf was plagued by controversy, from implications in a clubowner's death to multiple affairs (including Yves Montand and Charles Aznavour), drugs, and alcohol. Her torchy cabaret and dramatically theatrical songs eventually won her global recognition. This two-CD set covers highlights of her career up to her death in 1963, many of which are now standards. Described in France as "the greatest figure in the history of song," her voice still rings with a passion for life, something that eventually consumed her. --Derek Rath

Best of Piaf.......2007-07-27

This collection represents a good overview of her output from the various periods of her life. It is a great selection and highly recommended.

Nothing makes you feel as if you were in Paris as much as her music!!!.......2007-07-20

This was an excellent purchase! You will not be disappointed. It reminded me of walking the streets of Paris and all things magical about the city. Edith Piaf is an artist whom everyone should be familiar with and love. She has such a great story to tell!

review of amazon orders.......2007-05-07

While Im happy with the products i purchased, all of them arrived damaged..The cd covers were all broken. i think the packaging needs to be much better and safer for international mail.

Matthew Hit the Nail on the Head.......2006-10-02

Matthew hit the nail on the head when he wrote:

"This two CD set is highly recommended for Piaf fans (as if they didn't know that already), fans of French classic vocals and fans of international music. Thank goodness Edith Piaf shared her talents with us while she lived amongst us--fans of the arts are infinitely better off because of Piaf's substantial contributions to the arts."

The Piaf legend will live forever and should. I, too, recommend the Carnegie two-cd set. It's enthralling from start to end.

Piaf, Garland and Minnelli...the world will never see women performers like these again.

Great reveiw, Matthew!

Piaf Tonight!.......2006-10-02

This two CD set is not merely a magnificent sampling of Edith Piaf's songs; it is a celebration of her career as one of the greatest female singers the world has ever known or ever will know. The songs include many of her beloved songs recorded by Piaf between 1946 and 1963.

These wonderful French classics by Piaf include "La Vie En Rose;" "Les Trois Cloches;" "Hymne À L'amour;" "Jezebel;" "Padam Padam;" "Autumn Leaves" sung in English; "Milord;" "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien;" and "Les Amants De Paris." There are, of course, many more wonderful songs--all with beautiful musical arrangements--on this two CD set. There are even two unedited songs that show how Piaf worked on a song before it was polished: "Légende" and "Un Dimanche À Londres."

While almost all of the remastering is excellent, a few songs were not done to completion. For example, "Hymne À L'amour" on the first CD is obviously simply recorded from an old 78 rpm record complete with surface noise and scratches; and "L'homme De Berlin" sounds as if someone was holding tissues in front of the microphone in order to create a muffled reproduction of the recording. However, this is a minor disappointment because the rest of the package is so perfect.

The liner notes offer an excellent essay about Piaf's life written in both English and French. There are several photos of Edith Piaf and two of them are colorized for effect. The liner notes also provide songs credits and the year each song was recorded.

Piaf recorded much, much more than these two CDs could ever hope to cover simply because her career spanned so many years; if you like this set I strongly recommend other Piaf CD recordings including her performances at Carnegie Hall in 1956 and 1957. This two CD set is really best viewed as either a thorough introduction to Piaf or as a very good retrospective of her career including most of her greatest songs.

This two CD set is highly recommended for Piaf fans (as if they didn't know that already), fans of French classic vocals and fans of international music. Thank goodness Edith Piaf shared her talents with us while she lived amongst us--fans of the arts are infinitely better off because of Piaf's substantial contributions to the arts.

Best girl singer out there.......2007-04-12

Haven't found a genre she can't sing. What'll I Do is worth the price of the CD.

Sweet!.......2007-03-01

Linda has a smooth, soothing, sweet and rich voice that matches well with these numbers. A natural for this genre of good old sentimental jazz numbers! She draws you in and wraps you up in the warmth of her voice.

Great Singer-Great Orchestra.......2007-02-26

Riddle and Ronstadt recorded these albums at a time when Nelson Riddle was nearing the end of his life. Linda knew it based upon the feeling that she puts forth in these standards. Riddle's arrangements are impeccable. He arranged beautifully for the string section but used some outstanding soloists in Bob Cooper (tenor), Plas Johnson,(tenor) Warren Luehning (trumpet) and Chancey Welch.(trombone) to embrace Linda's solos. Welch's solos are tastefully played with a smooth, mellow tone. He represents the epitome of an artist playing the trombone. This is a great album.

Linda Goes to Standards.......2007-02-08

I am just now purchasing the combined CD's, which Amazon is offering as a special. I am so happy that it is out in CD, because I have the record and let's face it who listens to records anymore? I remember when it first came out. It was the first time Linda Ronstadt sang standards. It is such a wonderful marriage of talents Linda Ronstadt and the Nelson Riddle's Ochestra. I think she is so talented and can do anything from Country to Rock to Opera. At that time I think she was not given the credit or recognition. People thought the record would not be accepted. Well wow, it was a fantastic hit and she went on to make a couple of standard albums. Soooo, I can't wait to get the cd's and listen on my Ipod. I guess this is a first, reviewing the cd before I got it.

What's New - Linda Ronstadt & the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.......2006-11-07

I have known Linda Ronstadt from a CD of Mexican Music and the present CD is entirely up to expectations.

Album Description

They may have rationed meat, milk, canned goods, and gasoline, but there was no limit to the musical talent during World War II. Morale-boosting sounds on the home front and "over there" were one of the Allies' most potent weapons. WWII gave birth to many of the 1940s' most popular artists and songs, as well as many of the most important independent record labels. Songs That Got Us Through WWII is the first of a two-volume series collecting the hits that kept the home fires burning and brought a little bit of America to the G.I.s overseas. Compiled and developed by singer/songwriter/music historian Billy Vera, Vol. 1 features many of the era's biggest artists, including The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, The Mills Brothers, The Ink Spots, Harry James, and many more.

Customer Reviews:

A perfect collection from this time period!.......2007-08-03

This is a truly enjoyable, representative collection of songs heard during the second world war. Very reminiscent, and a real listening pleasure. The album includes a lovely ten-page booklet summarizing the meaning of and need for music during that time, including an overview of the performing groups/vocalists. Wonderful!

A hit with the WWII generation.......2007-07-15

We played this CD at a family reunion honoring our elders (who either fought in WWII or were married to those who fought). It was a hit. The tunes ranged from bouncy to sentimental, but all were enjoyable.

great compilation of 40's music........2007-03-18

i was born in 1961, but like the geeky audiophile that i am, i have eagerly dug into all the decades that have produced recorded music. i always thought that the forties were one of the weaker decades out there when it comes to sonic delights. so why do i love the two volumes of "songs that got us through wwii" so much? rhino records has a lot to do with it. as all audiophiles of the cd age now, rhino is one of the best outfits around when it comes to compilations of music. on these 2 wonderful discs from the forties, they have done it again. pure pleasure is to be had here. one drifts back to another time, across decades, to experience the popular songs of another american culture. this is a perfect introduction to that decade for anyone. having heard these two volumes, i can't wait to give the forties another chance. i am being won over, i think. thanks rhino.

Songs That Got Us Through WWII.......2007-01-04

When my mother heard this CD that I played on a recent road trip, she sang along with every one! She loved it so much that I bought one for her, plus the second one in the set. The selections are great (variety of songs and artists) and recording quality very good considering a lot of these were recorded 60 years ago. This is a great CD for anyone over 50 who grew up with this music or listened to their parents play it.

My Review.......2006-11-20

The songs on this CD are the songs I loved listening & singing to when I
was a young teen. Wonderful CD!!!

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

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful Piaf!.......2007-07-27

Loved this c.d.
All of Edith in English...I prefer the French of course, but hearing her in English at least give me some base of what the songs mean...plus her accent is precious...what a wonderfully talented voice...heartbreaking!!

Huge surprise!.......2007-05-12

What an unbelievable surprise - and joy - to discover Edith Piaf singing in English, and sometimes songs which she never sang in French! Her accent is ten times worse than mine... but the voice remains, outstanding!

Better in French.......2007-01-06

I think Edith Piaf was one of the world's great chanteuses. However, she loses a lot in translation. Whereas her songs in French are effective, touching and powerful, in English they are somewhat bland. Perhaps this has to do with the translations which almost always water down the French. Perhaps it is because her command of English is not great. In any case, for the REAL Piaf, buy anything she recorded in French--you will be transported.

Handy reference for lyric meanings in English.......2005-12-13

This is a nice enough album. I think she sounds a lot nicer in French, but some of these songs are fun, and if you have enjoyed some of her original music and been curious what they might mean in English, this is one way to get a sense of them. Of course, it would be nicer if all the albums came with liner pages of lyrics but they don't. (Edith Piaf sings clearly enough in French that even an amateur language scholar can try to follow the songs by ear however.) I bought this album when I bought "The Voice of the Sparrow," and while I like that one a lot better, and can listen to it more, this one is handy to have. If you do like lyrics in translation, you might also like to check out the music of Joni James and Nana Mouskoura. Their voices are very different from hers, but the multi-lingual aspect is fun.

This Piaf collection is the best. While in Paris I was able to visit her gravesite in a famous Paris cemetery. Once the wealthiest woman singer in the world she died a pauper.

very nice collection.......2007-01-10

I purchased this for my father, who is 76 years old. It moved him deeply to hear so many of these songs from his past. It was especially nice that there were songs in this collection that he hadn't even heard before. I am very pleased with this purchase.
