Sensational,
By
This review is from: Je Suis Comme Je Suis (Audio CD)
Wonderful compilation of work by legendary french icon whose body of work stands head and shoulders way above what we usually lump together under "french pop".If Edith Piaf was a little street singer crying her heart out under some lamp on the corner and honey-voiced Dalida trend hopper, Greco was sophisticated muse who inspired poets and other artist to write for her - collaborators listed here read as who's who in some french poetry class. Besides having a deep,sensual and rich (instantly recognisable) voice somehow reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich - but much better singer - Greco hand-picked the best songs from the best authors and they are all like little theatre pieces, irresistible even if you don't understand french. Instantly evoking a picture of Paris's rooftops, Greco music oozes class and sophistication - it's a poetry set in music rather than pop but no matter how you call it this remarkable artist deserves all the reccomendations in the world.

VINTAGE JUJU,
By ALAIN ROBERT (ST-HUBERT,QUÉBEC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Je Suis Comme Je Suis (Audio CD)
What have in commun BREL,BRASSENS,BÉART,GAINSBOURG,FERRÉ,CARCO,MaCORLAN and many others?They have all had songs recorded by JULIETTE GRÉCO,one of FRANCE's true lasting monument.BREL and GAINSBOURG were virtually unknowns when JULIETTE choose their songs for recordings.This overview of her career that span more than 50 years hits home.If you were a young composer or lyric writer in the fifties and the sixties,you simply had to ring her bell.With the deaths of CHARLES TRENET(he is also present here)and GILBERT BÉCAUD,GRÉCO is now the surviving legend of FRENCH music along with AZNAVOUR.In her autobiography JUJU,JULIETTE said this:I always missed my mother's lack of love towards me.She was somehow in a way adopted by the fans.

what Juliette is singing about. All I know is she does it beautifully and somehow you get the meaning. Just beautiful songs.
