SKU
35-SIG 11096
Here is JG in full-bore 'chanteur Français" mode. I like him & his voice and his style so much it's ok with me, but do bear that in mind when ordering, as he now he even out Charles' Charles Aznavour in the photo on the cover. Who would have guessed this 38 years ago when Kew.Rhone came out? Pas je!

This release features a song cycle inspired by Les derniers jours de Paul Verlaine by Gustave Le Rouge with lyrics by Emmanuel Tungny.
