Emmylou Harris - "Plaisir d'Amour" from "Stumble into Grace " (2003)



Emmylou Harris - Plaisir d'Amour 
(traditional; The McGarrigle Sisters, harmony vocals)

This traditional French song turns up twice in classic cinema of the late '40s and '50s -- once "performed by" Montgomery Clift and once by Deborah Kerr, brilliantly in Tea and Sympathy. Emmylou's is by far the definitive interpretation.

Sweet memories. My mom had a beautiful voice (sadly it was not passed my way) and use to sing this while slaving away in the kitchen.
