Edith Piaf

19 December 1915 - 11 October 1963




Édith Piaf
born Édith Giovanna Gassion, was a French singer and cultural icon who became universally regarded as France's greatest popular singer.[1] Her singing reflected her life, with her specialty being ballads. Among her songs are "La Vie en rose" (1946), "Non, je ne regrette rien" (1960), "Hymne à l'amour" (1949), "Milord" (1959), "La Foule" (1957), "l'Accordéoniste" (1955), and "Padam... Padam..." (1951).

Despite numerous biographies, much of Piaf's life is shrouded in mystery.

She was named Edith after the World War I British nurse Edith Cavell, who was executed for helping French soldiers escape from German captivity.

Piaf died of liver cancer aged 47 at Plascassier, on the French Riviera.
