From the imply streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York’s most well-known live performance halls, Edith Piaf’s life was a continuing battle to sing and survive, to stay and love. Raised in her grandmother’s brothel, Piaf was found in 1935 by nightclub proprietor Louis Leplee, who persuaded her to sing regardless of her excessive nervousness. Piaf grew to become one in all France’s immortal icons, her voice one of many indelible signatures of the 20th century.
