Music Reviews of Cocktail Hour: Maurice Chevalier
Music Review: AH MAURICE!
Rating: 5 Stars
It's always a pleasure to celebrate MOMO who made so many people aware of the FRENCH culture throughout the world.This collection is wonderful;most of it is a reminicence of MAURICE's early years in HOLLYWOOD 1928-1935.It is interesting to notice that many songs here were recorded also in FRENCH.Such is the case with MY LOVE PARADE(mon cocktail d'amour),PARIS,STAY THE SAME(paris,je t'aime d'amour),YOU BROUGHT A NEW KIND OF LOVE TO ME(vous etes mon nouveau bonheur)and JUST A BUM(ma pomme).CHEVALIER also recorded MIMI in both languages.There is one important complaint i have to say:why not mentionning the names of the writers and the composers of the songs?Of course,this is not a good enough reason not to buy this.Maybe they were afraid to paid some of the writers and composers who are still alive.Not everybody for instance knows that THE POOR APACHE was written by RODGERS AND HART for the 1932 film LOVE ME TONIGHT.Music Review: Not released 2000

OK, the blurb up there says "released 2000." That's for the *CD* which is an aurally cleaned up version of stuff from the 30s and 40s. This is an old record, but a very good one. Chevalier's voice has a perpetual smile, and his accent on classics like "Walkin My Baby Back Home" is something you won't hear from the current swing-era-clone bands. Listening to Chevalier, I feel good. I suspect you will too.
