"THE SPARROW" TOUCHES ME
This cd is very good. It contains all of her most popular songs and the quality is quite good. I purchased another of her cd's that I believe is a better quality, but this one is definitely adequate, and very enjoyable, especially "Non je ne regrette rien" (I have no regrets). Miss Piaf's artistry touches me profoundly after seeing the movie of her life, "La Vie En Rose," starring Marion Cotillard. Marion deservedly won the Academy Award for her performance this year. Edith Piaf had an incredible life, and we are blessed with the preservation of her music.

Edith Piaf The Little Sparrow
It's a good recording of a singing icon; pretty much as advertised. I'm glad to have it.

Great first album!
I bought this album a while back, more out of curiosity than anything else, and it sat around for ages in my collection of music. Then I saw the movie La Vie en Rose, with Marion Cotillard. That did it. Why on earth I haven't paid more attention to Ms. Piaf is a mystery to me, but now I want the whole catalogue. This is a wonderful album to start if you don't already have any of Piaf's recordings, because it features many of the songs that are used in the movie, with the exception of Padam Padam, which won't be missing from my collection for much longer! Also, talke a look at 75 Chansons.

Wrapped in Paris
Her voice wraps around you and puts you in the heart of Paris - sitting in a cafe people watching, strolling the parks and falling in and out of love. You feel the depths of heartbreak and the delirious heights of loving. She can break your heart or make it spin out of control. She is not a Sparrow, she is a spirit that envelopes your mind and stays with you for life.

a piece of history
in my book, any self-proclaimed fan of french chanson knows of edith piaf; her voice is present in the subconscious of many generations, and if you've seen the film relating her life's story, you know that edith was a genuine artist.
a must for fans of french chanson and poetry.
