Editorial Reviews

In need of a little joie de vivre? May we recommend France's musical ambassador to the world, Maurice Chevalier? Like Bing Crosby, Chevalier sang songs with a smile in his voice-in fact, Bing and he sing a bonus medley of hits at the end of this CD!

3.0 out of 5 stars CD is only 32 minutes long...!
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2011
Verified Purchase
This 32-minute-long CD features the incomparable, 60-year-old Maurice Chevalier on a 1949 radio show in Paris. The first segment is 26 minutes of Chevalier singing songs in English, but only one in French. If you were to eliminate the applause, and Chevalier speaking to the audience in English, it would be even shorter. In the next segment, Bing Crosby teams up with Chevalier, only to repeat a few of the same songs in English. Much to my surprise, the CD abruptly ends after 6 minutes of that duo's banter and song.

5.0 out of 5 stars fine collection of hits by the incomparable Maurice Chevalier
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2007
Maurice Chevalier was one of the most beloved entertainers of the twentieth century; and his CDs still sell well despite the passage of time. Maurice Chevalier could take a song and massage the lyrics to make it completely his own; and his adoring fans loved him for it. This CD gives us ten of Maurice's greatest numbers mostly from a 1949 radio show entitled This Is Paris. We also get a bonus radio track of a medley of hits Chevalier does with Bing Crosby. Great!

The track set begins with "Louise." Maurice sings this with sensitivity and passion after he is introduced by the radio announcer. Maurice's voice is in excellent form as he sings "Louise." The CD continues with Chevalier singing "Mimi;" Maurice Chevalier bats this one straight out of the ballpark as the audience loves every minute of it! Maurice never sounded better on this radio recording.

"Alexander's Ragtime Band" lets Maurice really break out into song as he delivers this classic march-like ballad to perfection! Chevalier never misses a note and the big band arrangement in the background plays well but never takes the spotlight away from Chevalier's vocals. "Ballin The Jack" gets the royal treatment from Maurice Chevalier as he sings "Ballin The Jack" without a superfluous note. Chevalier maintains a good rapport with his audience by talking to them about the songs he sings as he goes along--great technique!

"Just One Of Those Things" lets Maurice Chevalier sing yet another classic love ballad with panache, sensitivity and a style that was all his own. The flutes in the musical arrangement bolster the number, too. "'A' You're Adorable" shines like pure gold in Chevalier's capable hands; this tune will charm you as Maurice Chevalier sings this perfectly. "There's No Business Like Show Business" becomes semi-autobiographical when Maurice Chevalier performs this with charm, grace and sensitivity. The musical arrangement works wonders for "There's No Business Like Show Business" at the same time.

The final track gives us a marvelous bonus of a medley by Maurice Chevalier with Bing Crosby. When Bing says they're going to "hash over" some old tunes, you know you're in for a real treat! Together this awesome duo delivers a few numbers from early movies and the vaudeville circuit. I predict that you will enjoy their medley very, very much.

The liner notes have an informative essay by Scott Yanow; and the artwork is great!

Maurice Chevalier lives on through his huge legacy of unparalleled numbers and his performances in movies as well. I highly recommend this CD for fans of Chevalier; and people who enjoy classic pop vocals will also enjoy this CD.
