Thanks for the links. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the "typos"! (Maude!)
ReplyDeleteOne little correction from me, who's very good at misspelling! ;-) The French singer is ChristiAne Legrand (A jazzy Snow here!) who was talented composer Michel legrand's sister! She also cut a French Lp of Mary Poppins songs ... and is the French soundtrack singing voice for Mrs Potts, whose original French voice was ... Lucie Dolène, a much more suitable choice!
Keep a look out for a blog post on the Legrand record coming up in just a couple of days, plus a series of posts on a whole lot of others. We're going to fit in a bunch more records before the end of the year. :)
