Various Artists : Stars De La Chanson Francaise

26 iconic titles from the golden age of French song, including a 12-page booklet with complete information in both English and French. Moving away from the big theatres and flourishing in clubs and small cafs, French Song had its summit in the mid-20th Century, when figures such as Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Lo Ferr, Dalida, Charles Aznavour, Henri Salvador, Juliette Grco, and Serge Gainsbourg, disseminated their art first in Paris, and then throughout the world. It was a new kind of song, influenced by literary realism and the naturalist movement, and its lyrics frequently focused on the lives of socially marginalised people.
