Edith Piaf is almost universally regarded as France's greatest popular singer. Still revered as an icon decades after her death, "the Sparrow" served as a touchstone for virtually every chansonnier, male or female, who followed her. Her greatest strength wasn't so much her technique, or the purity of her voice, but the raw, passionate power of her singing.
JE NE REGRETTE RIEN

LA VIE EN ROSE (in French and Spanish)

LA FOULE

MON DIEU
Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!
Laissez-le-moi
Encore un peu
Mon amoureux!
"A thousand years from now, Piaf's voice will still be heard, and each time we hear it we will wonder a new at its strength, its violence, its lyrical magic."
