Édith Piaf (French: [edit pjaf](listen); born Édith Giovanna Gassion; 19 December 1915 – 10 October 1963) was a French vocalist, songwriter, cabaret performer and film actress noted as France's national chanteuse and one of the country's most widely known international stars.^[1]

Piaf's music was often autobiographical and she specialized in chanson and torch ballads about love, loss and sorrow. Her most widely known songs include “La Vie en rose' (1946), 'Non, je ne regrette rien' (1960), 'Hymne à l'amour' (1949), 'Milord' (1959), 'La Foule' (1957), 'L'Accordéoniste' (1940), and 'Padam, padam.' (1951).

Since her death in 1963, several biographies and films have studied her life, including 2007's Academy Award-winning La Vie en rose — and Piaf has become one of the most celebrated performers of the 20th century.^[2]

6Death and legacy

Family[edit]

Despite numerous biographies, much of Piaf's life is unknown.^[3] She was born Édith Giovanna Gassion^[4] in Belleville, Paris. Legend has it that she was born on the pavement of Rue de Belleville 72, but her birth certificate cites that she was born on 19 December 1915 at the Hôpital Tenon [fr], a hospital located at the 20th arrondissement.^[5]

She was named Édith after the World War I British nurse Edith Cavell, who was executed 2 months before her birth for helping French soldiers escape from German captivity.^[6] Piaf – slang for 'sparrow' – was a nickname she received 20 years later.

Louis Alphonse Gassion (1881–1944), Édith's father, was a street performer of acrobatics from Normandy with a past in the theatre. He was the son of Victor Alphonse Gassion (1850–1928) and Léontine Louise Descamps (1860–1937), known as Maman Tine, a 'madam' who ran a brothel in Bernay in Normandy.^[7]

Her mother, Annetta Giovanna Maillard (1895–1945), was of French descent on her father's side and of Italian and Moroccan ShilhaBerber origin on her mother's, and she was a native of Livorno, Italy. She worked as a café singer under the name Line Marsa. Her parents were Auguste Eugène Maillard (1866–1912) and Emma (Aïcha) Saïd Ben Mohammed (1876–1930), daughter of Said ben Mohammed (1827–1890), a Moroccan acrobat born in Mogador, Morocco,^[8] and Marguerite Bracco (1830–1898), born in Murazzano in Italy. She and Louis-Alphonse divorced on 4 June 1929.^[9]^[10]^[2]^:5^[11]
