Moving away from the big theatres and fourishing in clubs and small cafés, French Song had its summit in the mid-20th Century, when fgures such as Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Léo Ferré, Dalida, Charles Aznavour, Henri Salvador, Juliette Gréco, and Serge Gainsbourg, disseminated their art frst in Paris, and then throughout the world. It was a new kind of song, infuenced by literary realism and the naturalist movement, and its lyrics frequently focused on the lives of socially marginalized people.

Twenty- six of the best exponents of the genre are included on this splendid collection.
