"Star of stage and song, Mireille Hartuch had an irresistibly appealing, immensely charming and refreshingly direct vocal presence. With her comedic bent she was a bit like a French version of Gracie Fields, though with a more serious, more glamorous side She wrote or cowrote much of her material, and delivered it with a comedic touch that demonstrated her command of the music. She had many notable collaborators, including movie idol Jean Sablon, who sings several duets on this fine 2-CD set, as well as the music-hall duo, Jacques Pills and Georges Tabet, and pianist Georges Van Parys, and lyricist Jean Nohain... some of the cream of the crop in French pop during the Depression era. Nice stuff; highly recommended."
