The lyrics of \"La Vie en rose\" were written by Édith Piaf for music composed by Louiguy, -- This is Grace Jones' cover of \"La Vie en rose.\" Jones's fairly radical bossa nova interpretation of Édith Piaf's signature tune became her first international hit single and a staple of her repertoire. Jones said about the song, \"That's a very special song to me. Oh God, I cry every time I sing it. I had quite a few French lovers, so every time I sing it I think about them.\" -- Oh, BTW, want to hear the original?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFzViYkZAz4","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
