Edith Piaf

When we were kids my parents used to play this song, Milord and it made me want to learn French so I would know what it was all about.

Now I know lots of her songs but it is still one of my favourites. I find I can never sit down to listen to it, I have to stand up and swing my arms around a lot, a bit like she does.

I love this picture of her because she looks young and carefree and very 1940s with that hairdo and those little ankle boots.
