Our Take

MAURICE CHEVALIER The Essential Recordings

Rating: 7.8

Picture this: a smoky Parisian jazz club, a glass of fine champagne in hand, and the smooth, suave voice of Maurice Chevalier serenading you into the night. That's the vibe you'll get with "The Essential Recordings," a delightful collection of some of Chevalier's most iconic songs.

Chevalier, with his charming French accent and playful charisma, effortlessly transports you to the streets of Montmartre with classics like "Louise" and "Valentine." His voice, like a fine wine, only gets better with age, as evidenced by the soulful rendition of "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."

But it's not all roses and champagne with Chevalier. Tracks like "Mimi" and "Ma Pomme" showcase his cheeky side, with witty lyrics that will have you tapping your feet and chuckling in delight.

While some may dismiss Chevalier as a relic of the past, "The Essential Recordings" proves that his music is timeless, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. So pour yourself a glass of bubbly, dim the lights, and let Maurice Chevalier serenade you into the night. Santé!
