Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the Paris Olympia on 29 December 1960, the album documents Piaf's comeback after a year of near-fatal illness, before audiences who believed she would never perform again. The performance unveiled 'Non, je ne regrette rien', and the Olympia engagement is credited with rescuing the venue from bankruptcy.
