About the album
La Vie en rose, according to DoReSol
Within this album, Hymne à l’amour is a piece that resonates with a touching intensity. We also find Padam… padam, a song that has become a hallmark of her repertoire, and of course, the one that gives the album its name, La Vie en rose. This last song, written by Piaf herself in 1945, became an anthem of hope and love, reflecting an optimistic vision despite the difficult times France was going through.
Édith Piaf's career, born as Édith Giovanna Gassion, began early. She was discovered in Paris in 1935 by a nightclub owner, Louis Leplée. Her talent led her to perform in venues like the "Theatre de l'ABC", where she sang songs such as Mon Légionnaire. Her popularity grew significantly during the German occupation and, after the war, she established herself as one of France's most beloved artists, touring Europe, South America, and the United States, where she made several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
