If you enjoyed "A Good Year" this is a gem. The more I listen the more I love Charles Trenet and his music. It reminds me of better times when the world had higher standards. Upbeat, fun, it will make you smile and it will get you moving. Check out all his albums, I have two and they are both great. Highly recommended!

Quick confession: I bought this entire album just to get "Boum", which was used as the soundtrack for an Absolut brand vodka ad.

That said, it's a really enjoyable album. Trenet has a great voice, and the lyrics are fun - if you speak French.

He's a sort of French Sinatra, I guess. Great listening.

Charles Trenet is an incredible performer. I can't understand why he wasn't better known in the USA in his own right. He was so much better than Maurice Chevalier. I wish I could find DVDs of his French movies.

He's nuts! His shameless enthusiasm will make you smile. You have no idea what the French lyrics mean, and you don't care. If you like old-fashioned and off-beat, you'll enjoy startling your guests with this every so often.

I am sure this is the music my parents were listening to. Some great catchy tunes.

I really enjoy this album and think it is the best of Charles' stuff. A complete collection of some of the happiest, fun-loving songs around. Put this cd on while driving,cooking or even exercising and just try and keep from smiling and feeling good! Old but Great. Thanks Charles, U obviosly loved to sing and make us happy.

Very enjoyable; music you never tire of! Dreary Day? This will make it shine - and inspire you to dance around the house.

This contains quite a few non-descript and not too charming tunes, although the singing is good.

this will probably not be what your expecting. the songs however are all in french, nothing in english but are so upbeat as is trenet thats its really hard to turn them off!b even without a word of english, you really feel its too darn bad you never heard of trenet until now! DAM!! HES VERY VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHEE!!

This is an enjoyable collection of fun songs, romantic songs and songs that just entertain. They are sung in French and one may not understand the language but it's not necessary to sit back with a glass of wine in one hand and one's lover in the other to appreciate the mood this collection of music can add to an evening.
