Edith Piaf - Hymn To The Kid (1 Audio Cd)

"Edith is incomparable, she can make you cry just by singing the phone book," said Cocteau. Her mere presence on stage is enough. Her power of conviction does the rest. Of course, she always tells the same story, her own. But the most moving lives are those that have been lived. Her authenticity brings tears to the eyes. Piaf instinctively knows what best suits her personality and her audience. Small, frail, dressed all in black, she invents nothing, hides nothing, only exacerbates her feelings. She is the cold, the rain, the hunger, the dirty alleys, the gutters, and love. The audience knows she has lived through all of this, and they plunge even deeper into the artist's memories, paralyzed by her aura.

Standing at 1.47 meters tall, Edith Piaf left a lasting mark on the history of French song with her personality and her extraordinary voice. Fifty years after her death, this book retraces, through a collection of photographs, some of them exclusive, the chaotic and flamboyant career of the greatest singer of our time.

In partnership with the record company EMI, this book will include a collector's CD on the back cover.
