Today is Valentine's Day - so I would like to present a song from France and one from Germany. The French song is "Le premier rendez-vous" (Her first rendez-vous) which was originally sung by Danielle Darrieux in the 1941 movie "Le Premier Rendez-Vous". Produced by Continental Films it was an enormous hit during the German occupation.... Danielle Darrieux recorded "Premier Rendez-Vous" for Polydor and many different recorded versions exist. The song was usually recorded by singers with higher pitched voices. Rose Avril - whose voice was considerably deeper - recorded her version for Pathé in 1941. Rose Avril started her recording career around 1938 and became a popular singer during the second world war recording "exotic" titles such as "Querida", "La Morena" (both Paso Doblés),chansons like "Le premier rendez-vous" and some (4) French versions of Zarah Leander songs (See my channel for "Chaque soir j'attends l'amour/Jede nacht ein neues Glück"). After the war she continued her career succesfully but withdrew from show business in 1958. She retired to the Côte d'Azur, where she died - too young - in 1973. The video's theme is "love" and features old postcards which seem to fit the video very well... The German song is the tango "Schön ist die Nacht" www.youtube.com ...
