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 even now more than fifty years after her death, 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, a legend in her own life time – so much so that Marlene Dietrich was 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.
