Artist: Roland Gerbeau
Author: Charles Trénet
Label: Disque Sofradi
Year: 1944

Trénet's supporting act, first at the ABC Club in Paris, later during a never ending Tour de France (between 1942 and '44), landing him the privilege to introduce some new compositions. See also: La Mer. Giving songs away was Charles' way to show gratitude. Trénet offered it first to André Claveau, who didn't consider it a priority to record. Reissued on Fréméaux double cd L'intégrale Charles Trénet Vol 5.
