AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC SONG THAT BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL HIT FOR CHARLES TRENET 

LA MER    b/w  DE LA FENETRE D'EN HAUT  "La Mer" ("The Sea") is a song by the French composer, lyricist, singer and showman Charles Trenet. The song was first recorded by the French singer Roland Gerbeau in 1945. When Trenet's version was released in 1946, it became an unexpected hit and has remained a chanson classic and jazz standard ever since.
The English-language version of "Beyond the Sea" was first recorded by Harry James and His Orchestra in 1947. Its lyrics, telling the story of two lovers separated by the sea, were written by Jack Lawrence. It has since been recorded by many artists, including Bobby Darin who had a top ten hit with it on both sides of the Atlantic.
