La Vie En Rose was the signature song of French singer Edith Piaf , she popularized it in 1946.
It was the ONLY song I heard both at huge New York clubs Paradise Garage AND The Saint. Two of the most important clubs in dance history , with total different crowds.
"La Vie en Rose" was the third single by Jamaican singer and actress Grace Jones, her first single release on Island Records after having signed with the label and released her début album Portfolio in 1977. The single version was heavily edited, the original album version being more than seven minutes long. Jones' fairly radical bossanova/disco interpretation of Edith Piafs signature tune became her first international hit single and a staple of her repertoire and later performed as part of her 1981 A One Man Show, then the only track from her disco era to be included in the show. Jones' recording of "La Vie en Rose" was released as a single in 1977, 1980, 1982 and 1985. The single finally reached #12 in the UK charts when re-released as a double A-side with "Pull Up To The Bumper" in 1985.
