(2-CD set) "Who was the biggest ‘singing fool’, Charles (Trenet) or Johnny (Hess) ? I’ve always thought that if Charles had the magic of words, Johnny had inborn rhythm and they were perfectly complementary. I loved them straight away, together and separately, but I think that at first I preferred Johnny. He didn’t write the lyrics to his songs. Even though, to be truthful, he dictated them to his writers. That was a fatal error. It’s unfair..." - Georges BRASSENS. This set features Johnny with Ray Ventura, Eva Busch, Betty Spell, Paul Misraki, Martha Lova and many others.
