la musica es hermosa, aunque no fuera de la autoríade Chaplin, lo admiro muchisimo por saber aplicarla a su pelicula.

Mis respetos para este genio!

Indeed "La Violetera" (the theme song for "City Lights") was not composed by Chaplin but by Jose Padilla who had to sue Charlie in order to get his name listed in the film's credits. “La Violetera” had been immensely popular thanks to Raquel Meller’s recording in the 1920s and Charlie was a big fan of hers. The song came back stronger than ever when Sarita Montiel covered it in the blockbuster film “La Violetera” (1958) and has remained her signature song ever since.

As you say Spanish colleagues, the violetera, was composed of a great twentieth-century Spanish master, D. José Padilla Sánchez (WIKIPEDIA). Born in Almería, Spain.

A Charles Chaplin liked the music of Padilla and plagiarized as their own, leading to a conflict with the great teacher, settled in court. Almeria and Valencia, have two beautiful hymns composed by the maestro Padilla, including his beloved Virgen del Mar.

respect to your knowledge

actually some younger Hollywood directors do not credit Padilla still ,like the Barbra Streisand movie ''All Night Long''

He is the Best! Genius man

[SweetHeatLatinJazz]

La Violeta is from City Lights, one of the best Chaplin films of all time. It was a big hit before that film done by Raquel Meller who was the major star in Latin music in the early days of recording. Check out her recording too. it is quite charming.

[CrysisAlbur]

@SweetHeatLatinJazz I'd like to say something about that: Meller was very well-known in LatinAmerica, but actually she was from Spain, where she was a star too... ;)

[SweetHeatLatinJazz]

@CrysisAlbur Thanks for the info on Raquel Meller. "La Violetera" is a great song. we play it in our performances and hope to bring new life to this classic tune.

[amantedelcuple]

la Violetera es un cuple de JOSE PADILLA, autor espanol, Chaplin la uso en la poelicula despues de haber escuchado a RAQUEL MELLER.

[palmez7]

For those who asked about the name of the song, is LA VIOLETERA composed by Jose Padilla and sang by Raquel Meller.

[luzarriaga]

I love him,I saw almost ALL his movies,unfortunatly I couldn't find one :S I love his songs,it's like he put his heart on them,his soul,he can make you cry,lough,everything.With music or without it he could made magic and he still doing it. :)

I'm sorry, youtube doesn't allow me to post the link to a Japanese version in the comment box.

Please search on youtube for: "美しい人よ／大貫妙子" to find that version.

Wonderful song that brings back good memories, would you happen to know where I can download this song?

[AnaMirenaN]

como é difícil ter artistas com a mesma capacidade que Chaplin teve e ser valorizado nos dias de hoje. ele é, sem dúvida, um gênio, no aspecto humorístico, de direção de filmes e musical.

[benoboro20]

CHARLIE CHAPLIN films = magic !!!

LEGEND

[VictorPepitoGrillo]

Una aclaración, para que no haya confusiones: "La violetera" NO ES UN TEMA DE CHARLES CHAPLIN, sino de JOSÉ PADILLA, el "MAESTRO PADILLA", un conocido compositor español de la primera mitad del siglo XX (buscar en Wikipedia "José Padilla Sánchez").

[VictorPepitoGrillo]

Chaplin, en un acto impropio de su categoría como artista, intentó en "City Lights", apropiarse de la autoría de la canción. Por ello Padilla (al que no incluyó en principio en los créditos) le puso una demanda y le llevó a juicio. Lógicamente el juez le dio la razón a Padilla, y Chaplin tuvo que incluirlo en los títulos de crédito.

Sin embargo este desliz no me impide considerar a Chaplin como probablemente el artista más grande que dio el siglo XX.

[nochesdecasablanca]

Chaplin conocio esta cancion por RAQUEL MELLER, esta preciosa la orquesta.

[FromEurope]

Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de faire un commentaire ! Ce diaporama est excellent par sa simplicité. Peut-être vous n'avez pas fait exprès de faire simple, mais Chaplin n'est pas de "yéyé". Avec cette musique coulante, ce n'est pas la peine d'avoir la vidéo sophistiquée. Les images et la musique suffisent. On apprécie le moment, tout simplement !! ;)

[mauvetys]

Merci pour ce joli comentaire qui résume bien ma démarche, mon hommage!

CC a fait des films dits statiques, la simplicité c'est la vérité et l'authenticité je pense.

[clerotal]

@FromEurope Merci, Viva Chavez, Tut

[nzoneaffe]

sounds so sad =( but full of hope too=)

[mauvetys]

CC knew how to drive our feelings through the music.

[StevenDFenrich]

I appreciate your slide show and this most wonderful example of the music from "City Lights." While it was undoubtedly Chaplin's suggestion that Alfred Newman develop this within the musical score, I must point out that this was not, in fact, an original Chaplin composition. As a title bears witness from the film, the song is credited to one Jose Padilla - a name with which I am not familiar, but judging from this expression I no doubt ought to be.

Thank you again!

[mauvetys]

Thanks for your kind comment.

[paxguns]

Superb video of probably the greatest and most talented artist of them all.

Thank you so much.

[mauvetys]

you're welcome.

[sagievy]

[heav85]

[mauvetys]

It's mine too.

[silverbackalphamale]

Greetings from France*

[CLEOPATRE78]

Un grand Monsieur, Charlie Chaplin...

Merci Mauvetys. Je n'avais pas vu ta vidéo avant de faire "comme des roses", mais je vois que nous avons la même sensibilité : 2.47à 2.54(sourire). Amitiés. :-)

[mauvetys]

Oui, CC avait un énorme talent. Il a l'art de parler à mon âme. Je le trouve très séduisant et si poignant! Il a tout compris de ce que veulent les femmes je pense...:)))

Merci de ton commentaire.

[mauvetys]

Je ne me souviens pas avoir posé cette question, mais merci de la réponse, c'est poli.(sourire)

"Gracie" d'avoir laissé un commentaire.

[claura13abbafan]

It`s really perfect video when all around is "so gloomy and dreary" weather like today. Charlie makes me smile! Thank you!

[mauvetys]

I thank you, because you know appreicate the good things, when sometimes the world and weather are gloomy.

I am happy that Charlie Chaplin makes you smile.

This vid is created for that too.

[abbafanglosuk]

Wonderful vid Marie. The Kid, The Immigrant, Eric Rufus 0:23, Paulette Goddard 0:30, Great Dictator, Roscoe Arbuckle 0:50, Gold Rush, Modern Times (great), City Lights it all comes back to me. 1:37 sums him up. Charlie would be proud of this tribute I think.

[mauvetys]

oh thanks, you seem to be a real specialist of Charlie Chaplin!

I make this vid with big plaisure and i keep on smiling when i see some comic pics. 1000 mercis for seeing it and for appreciating it.

[mauvetys]
