Join Good News Broadcast as we celebrate Zhen “Joy” Lin and Paul Sladkus’ Birthdays. Joy will be examining the love and passion embedded within the lyrics of La Vie en Rose as she discusses the songs’ significance in her life. La Vie En Rose is French for The Life in Pink. It was the signature song of the French singer Edith Piaf. Piaf first popularized the song in 1946. The lyrics were written by Piaf and the melody of the song by Louis Gugliemi. Initially, Piaf’s peers and her songwriting team did not think the song would be successful, but it became a favorite with audiences. An English version of the lyrics was later written by Mack David. Owing to its popularity, the song appeared on most of Piaf’s subsequent albums. A 1998 documentary on Edith Piaf was also entitled La Vie en Rose. The song has become a standard and has been performed by countless artists worldwide. It was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998. http://www.edithpiafmovie.com/
