There are famous quotes about Paris, such as "Paris is always a good idea," (by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Sabrina); and "Paris has no peer," (by Countee Cullen, a Harlem Renaissance poet). Also there are favorite songs about the best time to visit Paris. The most renowned one might be "April in Paris." Then there's one I discovered only a couple of years ago titled "Paris Is at Her Best in May." It was recorded on a CD with Sammy Davis Jr singing it on an old TV show.
Around the same time I discovered the Sammy Davis Jr. performance, I found a video featuring the song's composer Charles Aznavour and American jazz singer Dianne Reeves. It's good. You'll hear the French and the English lyrics as the two artists perform and when Dianne Reeves comes in you'll start to see photos of her moving across the screen. Enjoy!
