"Yves' folksy melody brings you back to France through time and space. It always reminds me the romantic scent in the air of Paris and the country roads. It's my favorite, even though all my French friends said this is their parents' music."

SEVEN FAMOUS SONGS ARE THERE

"It starts very well with four songs forever associated with him.YVES MONTAND was always the most AMERICAN inclined FRENCH artist of his generation;he fashioned his persona after his boyhood idol FRED ASTAIRE.Then the collection mixes the good and the not so good(perhaps with the intention of a volume 2).All the fans of MONTAND know that DANS LES PLAINES DU FAR WEST(his first song),C'EST SI BON(made famous by LOUIS ARMSTRONG),LES FEUILLES MORTES(in it's original version) and BATTLING JOE belong in a greatest hit collection among a few others.As we often say, we can't have everything, even if we could if music was not primarly an industry."
