About the album

Scène de vie was number 1 on the French charts for ten weeks and, like before, received Mademoiselle chante ... diamond status. Bessie is a homage to the black American blues singer Bessie Smith (1894 - 1937), whose circumstances of death remain unexplained, which (theory of bleeding to death in front of a hospital for whites) is thematized in the song. L'enterrement de Sidney Bechet commemorates the jazz musician Sidney Bechet, who died near Paris in 1959 . The decoupled Kennedy Rose , a song about Rose Kennedy , reached number 34 on the French singles chart.
