/ world today news/ Composer Charles Dumont, who created the most famous song in Edith Piaf‘s repertoire, was awarded the title of officer of the Legion of Honor on the occasion of July 14, the national holiday of France.
It has been more than half a century since the queen of French pop first sang “Je NE regrette Rien” /”I regret nothing”/ in the Paris concert hall “Olympia”.
The story of the creative union Dumont – Piaf is known throughout France. Dumont wrote the composition at the dawn of his career, based on the poignant text of the poet Michel Walker, and decided to present it to Edith Piaf. The song became her biggest hit, becoming her emblem.
