A Collection Of My Favorite French Songs From Yesteryear
I grew up listening to those wonderful songs that I am introducing to you today. How many evenings I spent dreaming of romance while listening to Aznavour's songs? He was my favorite singer at that time.
I have quite an extended list of favorite singers and my hope is that you will enjoy listening to them as much as I did, and maybe even more.
I listen to those songs when I feel nostalgic. They will forever live in my heart.

- My husband is British and a French major, so I recognize many of these names. One of his favorites is 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' by Jacques Brel, and another is an English language song by Charles Aznavour called 'She'. You have chosen some wonderful tunes too. 5*s.
