Am 30.12.1960 legt Édith Piaf im Pariser Olympia dem Publikum ihre Seele zu Füßen. Zum ersten Mal präsentiert die Sängerin ihre Lebenshymne "Non, je ne regrette rien". Von Christiane Kopka.

Another episode of Christmas music! The first part is a continuation of the previous All-Tenor Holiday Extravaganza. We hear from Luther Saxon, Roland Hayes, James Melton, Brian Sullivan, Richard Crooks, Raoul Jobin, Jussi Björling, Richard Verreau, Fritz Wunderlich, Rudolf Schock, René Kollo, John McCormack, Peter Schreier, and Mel Tormé (with an assist from Judy herself!) And for those who have ambivalent feelings about this holiday, the final third of the program foregrounds six of my most favoritest Depressing Christmas Pop Songs, sung by Eileen Farrell, Rita Gardner, Joni Mitchell, Edith Piaf, Judy Garland and (in memory of Marie Fredriksson), Roxette. A line from Judy's song “After the Holidays” (words and music by the late John Meyer) provides the inspiration for the episode title: “I know it’s hard, but try.” Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Emission en hommage à trois légendes du 20ème siècle : Franck Sinatra, Edith Piaf et Sammy Davis Junior.
Il y a des mômes, comme on dit à Paris, qui ont vécu une enfance différente. Regardez la petite Isabelle. Dans les années 50, les enfants n'existent pas dans la société : en dehors du cadre familial, ils apparaissent un instant quand il y a des invités à la maison avant de rejoindre leur chambre. Leur univers, c'est l'école, la maison et le chemin qui les relie. Et puis il y a Isabelle que son père réveille régulièrement en pleine nuit pour l'emmener à son travail. Où ça ? Dans des théâtres, après un parcours à moto dans les rues de Paris by night. Et la voilà en coulisses. Tiens, tu es venu avec ma petite fiancée, dit par blague un monsieur qu'elle ne connaît que trop bien, Charles Aznavour. Son père travaille avec lui, il l'accompagne parfois en tournée, Isabelle le suit. Imaginez les loges, restaurants, hôtels avec ces gars en costume cravate qui discutent jusqu'à pas d'heure, le verre à la main et la clope au coin du bec.Les années 50 ne sont des années en noir et blanc dans les photos d'albums de famille. Pour Isabelle, elles ont les couleurs du showbiz français, foisonnant de rencontres, de gens qui rient, râlent, se donnent au public, gravent des disques. Il n'y en a qu'une qui est toujours, ou déjà, en noir et blanc, c'est Edith Piaf. Quand Isabelle accompagne son père dans son appartement, elle est impressionnée par le personnage et encore plus sur scène, car elle a le privilège de l'observer depuis les coulisses. Et le dimanche ? Isabelle fait le garçon manqué en allant jouer au foot dans le bois de Vincennes avec ses deux frères et leur père. Elle adore ça, c'est d'ailleurs elle qui a insisté au début pour aller jouer avec eux. C'est vrai, mise à part sa mère, elle est la seule fille du clan Gall, et ne veut pas rester en plan, alors si pour jouer avec eux il faut faire du football, ça lui va. A tel point qu'Isabelle sera championne de son lycée avec son équipe. Un sacré caractère qu'elle ne va pas perdre quand elle changera de prénom pour la scène : France Gall ? C'est une emmerdeuse, mon vieux, si tu veux mon avis. Ah ben oui, on a entendu dire ça dans le métier à l'époque, et pas seulement quand elle est devenue la championne du nombre de l'affluence en salles, non. De toute façon pour moi, ce n'est pas une insulte, disait-elle, c'est un compliment. J'ai du caractère ! C'est vrai, si refuser de dire oui systématiquement à tout ce qu'on vous demande, c'est être une enquiquineuse, alors, oui, j'assume.Il faut dire qu'on parle d'une époque où des profs de piano frappent sur les doigts de leurs très jeunes élèves avec une règle. Doit-on s'étonner qu'Isabelle Gall préfère les cours de guitare qu'elle prend avec ses deux frères, eux aussi contaminés par le virus de parents musiciens. Et puis tout a été si vite. Si bien, mais si vite. Avec des complications et de terribles drames, mais vaincus grâce à la résilience que France Gall a acquise quand elle était môme.
In questa puntata di Dee Giallo Story Carlo Lucarelli racconta l'incredibile storia di Édith Piaf e della sua vita tormentata, segnata dall'abuso di sostanze e dalla morte violenta del suo pigmalione e amante, una scia di drammi che hanno reso la sua voce tragica e immortale.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So where would Giles and Esther like to be buried?Lastly, a new charge has started to appear on some restaurant bills – an admin charge.

Spooktoberfest 2025 comes to a close with the icy embrace of a porcelain hand. In a thunderous horror feature film debut from Down Under, Jonathan and Daniel consult with the spirts once more in the Phillippou brothers modern horror classic Talk To Me (2022). When Mia is in mourning, will she succumb to the intoxicating high that only a glimpse into the eternal hereafter promises. In this episode; kangaroos that should have looked both ways, toe sucking galore, excellent teenage actors, and a theory that someone probably has already coined that Jonathan swears is his alone. What a surprise, he's signing Edith Piaf again and swearing he is possessed by the immortal chanteuse. Anyways, settle in for something scary, light the candle and invite Anime Was (Not) A Mistake in for one final horrific time this year. Or perhaps not...

“I need to get obsessed by projects so I can be involved in. I want to be entirely disappearing in a project.” And that's exactly what Marion Cotillard has done in joining season four of The Morning Show (Apple TV+). Cotillard plays Celine Dumont, the new board president of the fictional news network who hails from a French dynasty and has plans to shake things up. The Oscar-winning actress found her first TV series “very different from a movie,” but leaned into the “best advice” from co-star Billy Crudup. “He knew that I was freaking out. He said, ‘You know what they did on the first three seasons. You know how smart they are. Give your total trust and be a happy puppet. Let them direct you.'” Part of what interested Cotillard about the series is what it says about the state of journalism. “Journalism sometimes has to have strong opinions [in order] to dig into subjects, but also to open the door of very ugly things.” Joining a TV series fits with how Cotillard has led her career since winning the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. “I was solely following my choices. I never had any plan. I was so lucky that amazing directors offered me amazing journeys.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
London's Blitz club in 1980 had a huge impact on the way the decade looked and sounded, the launchpad for Boy George, Spandau Ballet, a new age of electro-pop and many writers, designers and photographers.

Qu'on vienne à Paris le temps d'un week-end ou qu'on y vive, la Seine, on ne peut pas l'oublier. On la longe sur les quais, on l'enjambe sur les ponts, on la franchit sous terre, en métro ou RER. Elle est là depuis toujours, coupant la ville en deux de son imposante masse d'eau. Tellement présente qu'il paraît que les gens sont différents Rive droite et Rive gauche. C'est vrai que c'est pas tout-à-fait la même ville. Qui s'est d'ailleurs longtemps résumée à l'île en son milieu, l'île-de-la cité, et bien sûr la ville romaine, rive gauche, quartier latin qui se terminait place d'Italie, début de la voie romaine menant à Rome. Bref, la Seine sur laquelle se reflètent le sommet de la Tour Eiffel et les tours de Notre-Dame, n'a pas inspiré que les amoureux et les peintres. Pour toute une classe populaire dont vont sortir beaucoup de chanteurs pour qui la mer est trop loin, elle est le seul endroit propice à l'évasion et à la rêverie.La Seine et ses quais, vous y êtes ? Peut-être, êtes-vous passés trop de fois en voiture pour vous lancer dans une promenade à pied, sans savoir que vu de là, en prenant le temps, vous ne voyez plus la même ville.Sous le ciel de Paris … ah elle les connaît, Edith Piaf, les quais de Seine, elle a, toute jeune, chanté sous le Pont-Neuf pour quelques pièces durant des années. Les Quais de la Seine Et Jacques Brel qui dans les années 50 cherche désespérément le succès, vivant dans une chambre de bonne, vient trouver la rêverie et la solitude sur les quais de Notre-Dame, dans l'espoir d'écrire la chanson qui va le rendre célèbre. Sous le soleil exactement Et oui, c'est sur le Pont des Arts, que Serge Gainsbourg a trouvé l'inspiration de cette chanson en regardant le soleil faire scintiller la Seine un soir d'été. Ce n'est pas un hasard, il longeait souvent le quai de l'Hôtel de ville, face à l'île Saint-Louis, quand il habitait sa chambre de la Cité des Arts. La Nuit avec moi, Johnny bien sûr, mais avec Johnny Hallyday, c'est la nuit, et la nuit, la Seine est noire … Mais elle reflète les lumières de la ville et des péniches qui naviguent. Alors Johnny y venait avec sa bande du Square de la Trinité et depuis le Pont Neuf, regardait ces bateaux partir vers un ailleurs où il avait envie d'être.Quai des Amours perdues Quelques années plus tard, c'est Julien Clerc et Etienne Roda-Gil qui y passent, en-dessous, longeant le quai, à la recherche d'inspiration, eux aussi, ils trouvent l'endroit propice à la mélancolie et ça les aide à vivre leur musique et leur texte.San Et si aujourd'hui la Seine émeut toujours des artistes comme Orelsan ou Christine and the Queens, c'est bien sûr Vanessa Paradis et M qui l'ont chantée avec succès, le clip a d'ailleurs été tourné sur une péniche, est-ce un hasard, près du Pont-Neuf.
Dans cet épisode, on est avec Axel, chanteur de karaoké professionel, pour parler musique française, de Piaf à Stromae en passant par Bruel, Goldman ou Dalida. On échange sur nos chansons cultes, celles qui font danser en soirée, celles qu'on aime chanter (même faux !) et celles qu'on ne comprend pas toujours. Un épisode joyeux, nostalgique et plein de refrains dans la tête

Opera Theatre of St. Louis' incoming artist director is taking audiences on a journey into the music of legendary French singer Edith Piaf.

Il est né dans l'Égypte de Gamal Abdel Nasser, donc la dictature, ça le connaît. Il s'est opposé à l'autoritarisme d'Hosni Mobarak, est devenu une figure dérangeante et emblématique de la révolution égyptienne. Puis interdit de publication, en 2016, il claque la porte du pays pour se réfugier aux États-Unis. Né au Caire et dans les livres de papa, né pour raconter notre condition humaine, Alaa El Aswany (c'est bien lui) est traduit en 37 langues. (Rediffusion) Depuis J'ai couru vers le Nil, jusqu'au Soir d'Alexandrie qui vient de sortir en passant par L'immeuble Yacoubian, c'est un empêcheur d'oppresser en rond, que nous recevons. L'histoire d'un amoureux de la littérature, fâché avec la pensée unique, qui ne sort jamais sa plume sans se faire accompagner de deux divas, Oum Kalthoum sur le guéridon, Edith Piaf sur la véranda. Lui et sa double culture n'aiment rien tant que la liberté, bref, c'est un tendre, mais qui a la dent dure.
On the Saturday July 19, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse we meet Louise Pitre. Often hailed as Canada's first lady of musical theatre, she is a Tony-nominated actress renowned for her powerful performances on Broadway and across North America and Europe. Best known for originating the role of Donna Sheridan in “Mamma Mia!,” she has also played Fantine in “Les Misérables” and Edith Piaf in “The Angel & the Sparrow” among many others. Today we talk about “Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812,” an innovative musical from Mirvish that follows Natasha's scandalous affair and Pierre's existential crisis amidst the backdrop of 19th-century Moscow, drawn from Tolstoy's “War and Peace.” Then, we'll meet British author, academic, and adventurer Robert Macfarlane. A Cambridge University fellow, Macfarlane's work often reflects his deep engagement with wild places, from ancient pathways to subterranean realms, earning him acclaim for his evocative prose and environmental advocacy. Today we talk about his new book “Is a River Alive?” a book that suggests rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law.

The little sparrow who became the voice of France.
Tous les week-end, découvrez de courtes histoires d'amours, tendres ou percutantes, pour engager de vraies réflexions sur l'amour. Edith Piaf fut une éternelle amoureuse. Mais il n'y a pas de doute sur qui fut l'amour de sa vie. Marcel Cerdan, le plus grand boxeur français est celui qui inspira une de ses plus belles chansons : "L'Hymne à l'Amour". Leur passion fût courte mais intense... avec une fin des plus tragiques. Une histoire de rings, de scènes et de voyages. Une histoire d'amour. Marcel est un homme marié. Sa femme, Marinette et leur trois fils vivent à Casablanca. Avec Edith ils doivent être discrets. Ils s'installent à l'Hotel Claridge, dans deux chambres côte à côte. Ils peuvent compter sur la discrétion de la presse, complice, qui garde le silence sur leur adultère. Ils passent toujours plus de temps ensemble. Ils se découvrent de nombreux points communs : ils ont tous deux grandi dans la misère et n'ont pu compter que sur leur talent pour s'en sortir. Ils ont des natures similaires, simples et sympathiques, leurs succès ne les éloignant pas du commun des mortels. Ils s'admirent l'un l'autre, viennent se voir sur leurs terrains de jeux mutuels : la scène et le ring. Le manager de Cerdan s'oppose fermement à cette relation : il estime que la chanteuse distrait son sportif. Mais rien n'y fait, Marcel est fou d'amour et Edith le lui rend bien.

Joie de Vivre" isn't just a phrase; it's a way of life. Sylvie Boisel, born and raised in France, was immersed in music and joy from birth. Trained as a singer and actress, she quickly charmed audiences in Paris and beyond, using music and humor to captivate with her unique style. **Australia** In 2006, Sylvie's artistic spirit led her to Australia, where her effervescent voice and style brought Piaf, Jazz, and American standards to life. She became known for her distinctive shows, performing at major events like the Sydney Film Festival and a nationally televised Wallabies luncheon, where she sang for Prime Minister John Howard. **The U.S.A.** Sylvie celebrates the deep cultural ties between France and the U.S., especially the shared symbol of the Statue of Liberty. In New York, she performed on Broadway and at “Best of France” in Times Square. After two years, she moved to Las Vegas, performing at venues like Red Rock Country Club and Dress for Success. And many venues and libraries. With her show I love Paris and her Tribute to Edith Piaf. She also proudly sang the French anthem for an American veteran honored with the Legion of Honor.

Singer Ella Raphael was weaned on Elvis, Edith Piaf, and (naturally) her namesake Ella Fitzgerald. On the hip-swaying “Tangled Love,” we hear her tempered vocals alongside a dab of nostalgic tropicália, Mediterranean riffs, and a sonic bed of vibraphone and lap-steel guitar.
Chris Chavez and Mac Fleet have arrived on-site in Paris for the 2024 Olympics. We share a little behind-the-scenes of CITIUS MAG's first few days in France and what to expect from our coverage of the Games. Chris attended the Opening Ceremony and stood in the rain to watch the Parade of Nations as each country made its way down the Seine and toward the Trocadero before the Olympic flame was lit to mark the start of the Games. Judo star Teddy Riner and 400 meter Olympic gold medalist Marie-José Pérec lit the Olympic cauldron Plus, Céline Dion made her return to the stage for the first time since 2020 as she's been dealing with stiff person syndrome and took some time away to focus on her health. She performed Edith Piaf's “L'Hymne à l'amour.” We recap Day 1 and get ready for track. Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram Host: Mac Fleet | @macfleet on Instagram
