Charles Trenet Bobby Darin French chanson Brel Gainsbourg Aznavour Brassens sea ocean beach summer sky
Description: The source for Bobby Darin's 1960 hit Beyond the Sea was a song by the archetypal French chansonnier Charles Trenet, La Mer, written in 1945. What it lost in poetry when it washed up on American shores, it gained in swing, and was a long standing hit on both continents. #2 on the list of 100 Les Plus Belles Chansons after Brel's Ne Me Quitte Pas |

| rick9155 ::: Favorites 2007-10-24 15:22:14 Trenet is one of the great French chansonniers. His enunciation seems to take me to small country town markets in 'la belle France'. __________________________________________________ | |
| oasisdo ::: Favorites 2007-10-18 20:07:22 Do you mean trenet is from belgium ?! I think you're wrong, he is bornt in narbonne, south of france. No matter, you're right, this song is universal. __________________________________________________ | |

| slinky9180 ::: Favorites 2007-10-01 01:22:39 A wonderful song - my favorite for some 50 years now, and an excellent performance by Charles Trenet. Thank you for this great video with sub-titles. If you like this french version of "La Mer" you'll probably love the Mireille Matthieu version which is beautifully done also and is available from several different submitters on this site. __________________________________________________ | |
