3.0 out of 5 stars Someone must have regrets, April 6, 2000

This review is from: Edith Piaf Song Collection (Paperback)

I wasn't as disappointed with the limited content of this book (10 songs) after I was made aware how hard it is to get music for Edith Piaf. But surely the popularity of "Non, je ne regrette rein" (sung by mice in the "Pig in the City" soundtrack) must be leaving its copyright holders (whoever they are) with regrets if the number of people chasing this song unsuccessfully is anything like what I'd suspect.

The only other book of Piaf music we've found is "Edith Piaf, album commemoratif". More (twenty-two) songs and still no "no regrets" to be found.

The book has the name of the chords but doesn't have the guitar chords as I would prefer.

Tip: You'll find the Contents pages for many of the Hal Leonard titles sold here through their web site. If I had found this sooner, I would have saved myself a lot of guessing what songs were included.

Now if I can only find the dots (music) by Bastille Day, we'll be set ... no regret.

4.0 out of 5 stars A rare find- published music and lyrics for Edith Piaf, February 13, 2011

This review is from: Edith Piaf Song Collection (Paperback)

Its hard to find any published music and lyrics for Edith Piaf so I was pleased to find this. Still, I wish I could find a larger collection and especially something with lyrics in English. I am researching for a play I am writing about Piaf's life and I am finding it hard to get material I need. Still this little collection has several familiar and well loved songs including La Vie en rose, Milord, Padam...Padam and several less familiar to me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for, June 9, 2008

This review is from: Edith Piaf Song Collection (Paperback)

I have a pretty complete collection of Edith Piaf on my IPOD, and I was looking for something that reflected her hits from the recent movie, La Vie En Rose, the soundtrack of which is also in my collection. I bought the book above and only recognized two songs as I was playing through all of them. I even went back and played the melody alone, hoping that would spur some recognition, but while some were pretty, they were not what I considered the songs that made her famous.
