Michel Legrand's first homage to the capital was I Love Paris in 1954, which became a bestseller in the US, sparking a trend towards albums of music from the 'continent'. It is a musical portrait of the Paris of the '50s. Legrand combines 16 songs (LP-1) into a kind of suite, starting with church bells ringing on a square and a musical round trip through the city. His orchestra is in good shape while working on French music favourites, such as Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" and "Hymn to Love" and Charles Trenet's "La Mer". The real highlights come when Legrand becomes postmodern with "The Poor People of Paris" performances and the Nat 'King' Cole classic 'Two Loves Have I".
