I am wanting to know if DR and EP recorded anything together?

    Hello,

    To my knowledge (based on Edith Piaf discography) they did never record together (though somebody spoke to me of a mysterious recording of DR + Edith Piaf + Maurice Chevalier which if it ever existed was lost in a fire).

    But Edith recorded 3 titles with young Matelot Ferret :
    - Fais-moi Valser (24 MAR 1936 - M-2376-1 & M-2379)
    - La Jolie Julie (24 MAR 1936 - M-2377)
    - Va danser (24 MAR 1936 - M-2380-1)

    Interestingly enough, 'Fais-moi Valser' is exactly the same tune as 'Petite Valse Manouche' recorded by Francis-Alfred Moerman as a traditionnal.

    Best

    François RAVEZ
