I the following years he started performing from the secondary to main roles in the music-halls (Théâtre Mogador in 1939, Concert Pacra in 1940 and l'Européen in 1941) gaining among French audiences the honourable title of « Prince de la chanson de charme ». He continued his career after 1945, to retire in the end of the 1960s.

  • The picture at 2:30 ist mirror-inverted.

  • Spring of 2010 is the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Occupation, Dunkirk, the Blitz etal. No mention of all this at all on American news just as a remembrance. Anything about these events on

    European news?

  • Qui es-tu, "vertxxgg", pour juger, 65 ans plus tard...? Les artistes, comme les autres, devaient "trouver à bouffer"! Facile de juger aujourd'hui à la lueur de ce qu'on sait de cette période.

    Cela reste un magnifique tango superbement interprêté, merci, 240252

  • On dirait un peu Yves Montand!

  • A lot of French songs were recorded during the nazi occupation. Much of them are melancholic and sad but it's difficult to find a hidden meaning. You should hear some songs of Georgius, who was a very good parodic singer, and try to find translations of their so funny texts, which sometimes lie close to the actuality.

  • Ce n'est pas parce qu'il a chanté sous l'Occupation qu'il a eu des accointances avec la LVF... Avez-vous des sources ?

  • active avec LVF...mais a1945 il a oublie tout comme tant d'autres

  • This song was recorded during the nazi occupation of Paris 1940-1944. Does this song
