Annotation

Chanson artists, born 25 February 1932 in Paris, France, and died on 4 June 2018, Semur-en-Auxois, France. This album contained the track "Chante une femme" (Disques Vogue # LDM 30215) - a cover of the Jean Arnulf song, released on the 1968 album "Déjà l'automne". James Ollivier also covered the song on the album Récital public (1973), under the title "Vietnam". As mentioned above, it looks at the negative impact of the war from different perspectives, such as an America family, "my only son, sings a woman in America... boy's death in Vietnam", and then onto the Vietnamese, "awakens the Vietnamese child... I hear planes, we must take our luggage". The song also criticised politicians for playing war games, "Mr. President... and the Vietnam map, as a man who is playing checkers".
