Wildly uneven with a few remarkable patches.......2002-11-08

This is a CD with some really appalling songs, everyone agrees. The novelty songs are embarassing and--to my mind--offensive in their choice of images and racial coding. But "Le Ciel Blue" is a beautiful, chilling song with a vocal both icy and tormented; "Plus Loin Que La Terre" is a lovely, lullaby-like song with incredibly ridiculous lyrics (to translate, probably badly, "In spite of his strange manner, he is as beautiful as an angel when he looks at me"); and I actually like a couple of the twist-type songs: "Si Tu Me Telephones" is a charming example of its type. I actually listen to most of this CD with enjoyment. It's an excellent choice if you are simply interested in French pop-ish stuff in general, although it sounds like it's a real disappointment if you're seriously into Dalida.

For completists only.......2001-07-11

There are 10 Volumes of Dalida's complete recorded work for "Barclay" company during the period 1956-69 and this one is nr.5 - unfortunately I think its her weakest of my first five CD's.Gifted with rich,troathy voice and beauty,Dalida somehow changed her style to achieve more mass-appeal,paying price of popularity and succes with songs that were far bellow her standards.Documentary about her life shows that she was incredibly populat at that period,but even at volume 4 there was already "Itsy Bitsy Petit Bikini" that clearly predicted in which direction her music would go - and now she goes further with covers of "Speedy Gonzales",Adriano Celentano and Mina at their most silliest ("Mille Bolle Blu"!) and novelty "Pepe" in which her singing is "decorated" with something like hick-ups.There are also covers of Helen Shapiro ("You Don't Know"),and Neil Sedaka ("King Of Clown"),together with Dalida's attempts to sing rock and twist.It's not really so bad,but it's very dissapointing compared to her earlier music.I guess it's interesting to hear from historical perspective,as what was pop music in France in early 1960's but my recommendation would be everything else she recorded earlier.When all is said and done,Dalida would not be remembered for singing "Speedy Gonzales".The last & best song on this CD is (again) cover of Pete Seeger's "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" which is actually quitte appropriate for a singer whose artistic integrity slipped downhill at this point in exchange for record sales.
