La chanson du jour - French songs 101

Charles Trénet: J'ai connu de vous (1938) and also a version by Georges Brassens

The version by Georges Brassens (recorded much later than 1938) is from his album where he sings songs of his youth (available on Amazon).
This link is to a version posted on mySpace. Here is a link to a version by Trénet himself posted on this site from Québec. Scroll down to get to J'ai connu de vous... You can also buy via Amazon. The song is part of an excellent CD that contains most of the best songs of Charles Trénet. Highly recommended. It is also a good deal $ wise (at $14) as it would cost about $30 more to buy each song separately.

Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli: September Song (1938)

 On YouTube. It seems it was the appropriate time to choose September Song even if it is an American song (Wikipedia). Unfortunately there is a terrible advertising a the very end of this version on YT. I guess it is a new way to make money but be warned. To compensate I also give you the link to Tears, Django and Stéphane Grappelli.

Rina Ketty: J'attendrai (1938)

Rina Ketty sings J'attendrai that was initially an Italian song. It kept playing during all WW2. Also recorded by Django Reinhardt and here with Stephane Grappelli (with pictures)
