Mistinguett sings a naughty tango : Tout ça c'est pour vous...(ca1928)

I am very happy to present a recording by the legendary Mistinguett...

The song is a lesser known one and could be translated as "It's all yours". Mistinguett is a flower girl, offering all her flowers and the happiness they bring for sale...except one...

She sings (in the final part) :

I have only one flower that is tendre and closed
and I would not sell for all the money in the world
Yes, you have guessed it right
that's my rose
and it's not for you!

Mistinguett (1875-1956), the embodiment of Paris and its nightlife in the first half of the 20th century, creator of songs and fashions and proud owner of the best legs in the world needs no introduction... It is a shame that so little footage is available which shows Mistinguett as she really was : an excellent "meneuse de revue"... So do not judge her solely by this recording, she was a fantastic entertainer and an inspiration for many other artists...

The video shows Mistinguett on the balcony of her room at the hotel Adlon in Berlin and performing around 1931. The sheet music is from my personal collection...


About the record :

Odeon (Green label)
A166107b / Ki1675
(B-side to "On m'suit")

This record is in perfect condition, it looks and sounds as if it has never been played... No denoiser or any other procedures used.

According to the website Chanson.udenap.org the recording was made in 1928 (Mistinguett's recordings were released on both Pathé/Pathé Saphir and Odeon, later on she recorded for Columbia).

Please select "Watch in high" quality for the best Video/Audio quality as this is an MPEG-file.

Enjoy!

@NoirOrchestre je suis anglophone. Tenter parler francais avec les froggies? Allemand avec les boches? Impossible. "parlez Anglais" "parlez Anglais"....s'il y a une culte de l'anglais le plupart des acolytes sont pas anglo langue maternelle. Croyex moi.

onsterfelijk deze muziek en zang

[NoirOrchestre]

on peut pas causer français entre Français ? Sans accès de chauvinisme intempestif, y en à mais jusque là de cette espèce de pseudo-culte de la langue des autres rosbeef.

@RodrigoMSanga Olá Rodrigo, c'est vrai.. Brazilians need to open their minds to the world and not being an isolated and a monolingual country lost tin the occidental part of the planet.... they must turn their heads toward all directions and not only to America....Thanks for your comments...

@illfurter Olá je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vos mots sur cette femme inoubliable qui est Mistinguett.. unique et inédite.. je partage de tes mêmes idées..

[illfurter]

Démodé , ringard ... tout ce que vous voudrez , mais cette voix gouailleuse, unique ça restera encore longtemps dans la mémoire collective

Misitinguett ,!! Mon Dieu qu'elle belle!! Qu'elle emotion!! Je remercie celui et ou celle qui posté cette video... et demande, s'il vous plaît, je veux plus, beaucoup, plusieurs videos de cette vedette merveilleuse...

[RodrigoMSanga]

Thanks for the video!

I love Mistinguett, but it is little known in Brazil, where I live.

It's always great to know there are people in the world who share the same taste in music ... A refined taste, different, marked by a magnificent time for music and performances, as the time of Mistinguett.

Thanks
