La chanson du jour - French songs 101

Michel Legrand: Peau d'âne (1970) le gâteau d'amour

Another collaboration with Jacques Demy. One of the songs, the song about the gâteau d'amour, the cake of love (and always Catherine Deneuve).

Michel Legrand: Les moulins de mon coeur (1968)

The theme od the film the Thomas Crown Affair: les moulins de mon coeur.

Michel Legrand: Les parapluies de Cherbourg (1964)

The film by Jacques Demy and the music by Michel Legrand. The song about the separation.

Tribute to Hugues Aufray: le coeur gros (1965)

 I realized they are all the same type of nostalgic ballads. Here le coeur gros (performed by the same anonymous guitar player). In another style le rossignol anglais (not performed by Hugues Aufray either). Years later I still vividly remember the cover of the record. 

Tribute to Hugues Aufray: Dès que le printemps revient (1964)

 A song for the season: Dès que le printemps revient. Always the sixties.
