This 16-track Edith Piaf collection features classic recordings from the legendary French singer's early years, primarily the 1930s and 1940s. Best of the Little Sparrow pales in comparison to more comprehensive anthologies like Metro's Immortal Edith Piaf, ASV/Living Era's Vie en Rose, or Capitol's Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf, but with a set that includes Piaf classics such as "Mon LŠgionnaire," "Petit Brouillard," "Cloches Sonnent," "Simple Comme Bonjour," and "Petite Marie," it's hard not to recommend, especially for a budget collection. ~ James Christopher Monger
