#49 - Edith Piaf, the sound of France

In this episode we talk about the most famous French female
singer of all time. A woman whose voice inspires more than 50
years after her death. It is of course Edith Piaf, who remains in
the hearts of the people of France and continues to sell huge
amounts of recordings worldwide.


It is a rags to riches tale, born in the street, working the
streets and finally becoming the darling of France, a legendary
performer, rich beyond her wildest dreams with Marlene Dietrich
as a bridesmaid at her wedding. 


Edith Piaf’s life burned bright, but short, it’s claimed her last
words were “every bloody thing you do in this life, you have to
pay for…” We explore her incredible life, her music and her
legacy.
