Maurice Chevalier - The Romance Of Paris

Review by Alexander Gounder

Maurice Chevalier's album "The Romance of Paris" is a delightful collection of classic French songs. The album features Chevalier's signature style and charm, transporting listeners to the streets of Paris with his smooth vocals and playful lyrics.

The album opens with the upbeat "Sweepin' the Clouds Away," setting the tone for the rest of the album. Chevalier's rendition of "Mimi" is a standout track, showcasing his ability to infuse humor and romance into his performances. The album also includes timeless classics like "La Vie en Rose" and "C'est Magnifique," which Chevalier delivers with effortless grace.

The instrumentation on the album is equally impressive, with a variety of instruments including accordion, piano, and guitar adding to the Parisian atmosphere. The arrangements are tasteful and never overpower Chevalier's vocals, allowing his performance to shine.
