I bought L’Accordéoniste very cheaply at Tower Records in Berkeley after seeing Saving Private Ryan and loving the song Tu Es Partout as used in the film. I discovered a lot of other great songs in the process. Oddly, her most famous songs La Vie en Rose and Non, Je ne Regrette Rien are not on this collection.
Edith’s life was made into its own film (which I also enjoyed); she lived enough for 5 people and you can hear that in her voice.
