Musicians

Yves Montand - vocals

This is a compilation of 16 tracks recorded by the enormously popular French singer and movie actor Yves Montand in 1948 and 1949. He is accompanied, on most tracks, by Bob Castella et ses Rhythmes that included great guitarist Henri Crolla. Throughout his prolific career as a film actor and variety singer,
Yves Montand represented an ideal, that of the working class hero with a strong social conscience. This partly explains his enduring popularity in French culture, more than a decade after his death."
