RR Mon Ami,

This Moon song is tres tres FABULOUS and so is Maurice. I love this song (one of the best ever written) and I especially love it with the French accent...so Romantic and Continental. Merci.

[RReady555]

You're entirely welcome, Genia--one of Chevalier's non-film songs that attained smash success...I'll be posting more his tunes.

Adieu,

-RR

Maurice Auguste Chevalier (September 12, 1888 January 1, 1972) was a French actor, singer, and popular entertainer. Chevalier's signature songs included "Louise", "Mimi", and "Valentine". His trademark was a boater hat, which he always wore on stage with his tuxedo thanks fir the ppost rr great upload

Thanks for that bio, Paul--yes, this is one of those rare photos where maurice is wearing a silk topper rather than his trademark boater. ;)

Yuletide felicitations, my Brit friend!
