About This Item
London: Thames and Hudson, 1997. A Fine unmarked copy in red laminated boards with Fine dustjacket. A large format volume of 112 pages. 250 illustrations, 100 in colour. The nostalgic French popular songs of the modern era instantly bring back memories of St. Germain's smoky night clubs, of Edith Piaf singing her heart out and bringing tears to the eyes of several generations, of Maurice Chevalier's unique Gallic wit and charm, of the tough sexiness of Yves Montand or Charles Aznavour and of Juliette Greco's love-struck poetry. This enchanting book is a celebration of a long-lasting love affair with these french songs and their singers: Their Poetry, Witty Play on Words, Sadness By Day and passion at night. Each chapter is devoted to a theme and a song it inspired - love itself, Paris, joy, nostalgia - and is illustrated by stunning photographs of the artists, sheet music, record covers and posters. Compiled by Pierre Delanoë who has written the lyrics of over 3,500 songs for France's leading stars and is the author of several books on French popular music. PLEASE NOTE: A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.05 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 2. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
