Piaf: Her Story, Her Songs (2003)
French jazz singer Raquel Bitton is internationally praised as the greatest interpreter of music from the Édith Piaf repertoire. Raquel Bitton's critically acclaimed hit show, Piaf: Her Story...Her Songs, celebrates Édith Piaf's extraordinary life through stories and songs that reflect the major episodes in her life from singing in the streets of Paris as a child to becoming the highest paid singer in the world at that time. Raquel Bitton's heartfelt renditions (sung in French) and her powerful delivery takes her audience on an intensely moving and emotional journey. Woven into the live concert is a luncheon where noted composers, authors, friends and family of Édith Piaf came together at a small bistro at the foot of the Père Lachaise, the cemetery where she is buried, to share intimate personal stories offering a rare look into the true life and persona of Édith Piaf. As the wine poured, the stories flowed. The film includes a new original song by two of Édith Piaf's favorite composers, Francis Lai and Michel Rivgauche, writing together for the very first time.
