Funny you should mention that. I was actually just reading Nausea and when I got to that part when he was sitting in the cafe I was wondering what version of the song Sartre was referring to. I am thinking this may be it.

@moondust38 The same case. I was reading the "nausea" novel...and i start to search the song...i think is this...
Is a great song... and a great novel.

Sartre even described the singer's voice as hoarse. Interestingly, Waters voice does sound hoarse in this version. On the other hand, Tucker's singing style could be described as hoarse. However, Nausea also seems to describe a build up to the singing and that's something this version lacks. I still have to comb through the novel again, but I vaguely remember Sartre describing trumpets or at least a metallic sound, which would increase the probability that he was referencing a Tucker recording.

Anyone know is this the version referenced in the novel 'nausea'?

@rockrzk2 As far as I can tell, it is. We know that the version Sartre describes in nausea is sung by an african-american woman, was popular enough to be heard in France, and was recorded before WWII. The first condition eliminates the versions by Sophie Tucker (which was the first version recorded), Bing Crosby and Cab Calloway, and the third eliminates Ella Fitzgerald. The second condition saves us from looking too hard, since it would have to be relatively available.
