But, thinking of Édith, he changed the title to "Non, je ne regrette rien" (No, I Regret Nothing). According to journalist Jean Noli, in his book ''Édith'' (Éditions Stock 1973), when Dumont and Vaucaire visited Piaf's home at Boulevard Lannes in Paris on 24 October 1960, she received them in a very ...

Mon Légionnaire
"Mon légionnaire" is a French song introduced in 1936 by vocalist Marie Dubas, with lyrics by Raymond Asso and music by Marguerite Monnot. Marie Dubas toured the United States with this song in 1939. Writer Raymond Asso was a veteran of the Foreign Legion, who also wrote " Le Fanion de la Légion" (The Flag of the Legion), which was taken up by Dubas and afterwards by Piaf, but with less success. Edith Piaf version The song is now mainly identified with Édith Piaf, who took it up as a central element of her repertoire. It appears in most collections of Piaf's songs. The romantic theme of a woman's longing for an embittered Legionnaire who refuses to reveal his name, with whom she has a brief affair, fits well with Piaf's image.

This new version of "Mon légionnaire" was a hit on French dance floors, both ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
