Rufus Wainwright: La complainte de la butte -2001 (and Cora Vaucaire and Mouloudji - 1955)

Looking for US artists singing French songs I find Rufus Wainwright's interpretation of La complainte de la butte that was initially created by Cora Vaucaire, the voice in the Jean Renoir's film French Cancan and by Mouloudji in 1955.

Lyrics by Jean Renoir Music Georges Van Parys
