Summary: An old treasure unearthed!
Comment: I had heard this singer's voice in movies but never knew who she was?? Now I do, and I really enjoy hearing her music especially in English. Now I will be able to know what she is singing about even if I hear her songs sung in French!

Summary: The Sparrow Sings in English
Comment: Until I heard this CD, I was unaware that Edith Piaf had ever recorded any songs in English. I was aware, however that she didn't learn much English until very late in life. Someday, I hope to have heard everything she ever recorded. 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.

Summary: Power-House Singer!!!
Comment: 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 her original French editions, just add a little complimentary color.
The cd comes with small cover/booklet including French and English liner notes with biography and song information and pictures of Piaf. The remastering is done well and the songs are nice, clear and loud.
Makes for great dinner music, so get your copy today!
