NOT BAD BUT NOT COMPLETE OVERVIEW, May 16, 2001
This review is from: Les Chansons Eternelles (Audio CD)
Since AMAZON doesn't seem to have the wonderful 2cd collection with 52 songs,you have to settle for this one,but as you know real fans have eliminated the word settling of their vocabulary.If you don't know it,VINCENT SCOTTO was the most important FRENCH composer of the first half of the previous century.Virtually everyone from MAURICE CHEVALIER to MISTINGUETT,ALIBERT,TINO ROSSI and many others recorded his songs;some of his songs like LA PETITE TONKINOISE were hits twice with different performers.VINCENT SCOTTO was born in MARSEILLE in 1874 and he died in 1952.It is estimed that he wrote over 4,000 songs, which means that anyone having an interest in FRENCH music must sometimes gives some attention to this guy.Like many in his time like HENRI CHRISTINÉ and MAURICE YVAIN ,he wrote many songs for operettas that were very popular at that time....
