Re-released to capitalize on the popularity of the big-screen adaptation of his life story, Les 50 Plus Belles Chansons de Claude François is a comprehensive compilation of the late French chanteur's career. The three-CD collection includes the original versions of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" ("Comme d'Habitude") and Elvis Presley's "My Boy" ("Parce Que, Je T'aime Mon Enfant") and his covers of "If I Had a Hammer" ("Si J'Avais un Marteau"), Herman's Hermits' "There's a Kind of Hush" ("Qu'Est-Ce Que Tu Deviens"), and the Everly Brothers' "Made to Love" ("Belles Belles Belles").
One of French pop's most poetic songwriters, Georges Brassens was also a highly acclaimed and much-beloved performer in his own right. Not only a brilliant manipulator of language and a feted poet in his own right, Brassens was also renowned for his subversive streak, satirizing religion, class, social conformity, and moral hypocrisy with a wicked glee. Yet beneath that surface was a compassionate concern for his fellow man, particularly the disadvantaged and desperate. His personal politics were forged during the Nazi occupation, and while his views on freedom bordered on anarchism, his songs expressed those convictions more subtly than those of his contemporary, Léo Ferré.
Although not the owner of conventional high-level vocal skills, Bardot invested her frivolous songs with a contagious sense of playful fun, and a refusal to take the music or herself too seriously. Certainly some of the tunes – and their breathy delivery – capitalize on her iconic sex kitten persona. But the guileless joy she projects is reminiscent of some of the early work by France Gall (one of the finest '60s French pop singers), though Bardot's voice is less girlish and more adult in tone.
