The record
A lush mid-'50s pairing of Legrand's orchestral arranging with Jacqueline François's warm, Gallic vocal delivery, steeped in the Columbia Masterworks house style of the era. A charming curio from the years just before Legrand's own name became synonymous with sophisticated film and pop scoring.
