Inhaltsangabe

Edith Piaf remains quite possibly the greatest female entertainer of this century: a tiny, black-clad figure with a scorchingly powerful voice who dominated stages around the world for almost thirty years, and who, more than four decades after her death, has never been replaced.
David Bret - Britain's foremost authority on the French music-hall - tells Piaf's amazing rags-to-riches story with unprecedented detail, honesty and compassion. Friends, composers, lovers, colleagues and the father of Piaf's only child have confided in him. Skilfully analysing every aspect of this great artiste's life, he paints a vivid portrait of the celebrated chanteuse whose triumphs and tragedies were shared by an adoring public.
Richly illustrated with photographs from the author's collection and containing a complete discography, Piaf also features detailed appendices of her films, stage-plays and all stage and screen tributes to date, making this the most comprehensive and up-to-date biography available.
