Product Description
This arrangement of "La Vie En Rose" is as performed by piano artist Jon England.
"La Vie en rose is the signature song of popular French singer Édith Piaf, written in 1945, popularized in 1946, and released as a single in 1947. The song became very popular in the US in 1950, when seven versions reached the Billboard charts.
The song's title can be translated as "Life in happy hues", "Life seen through rose-colored glasses", or "Life in rosy hues"; its literal meaning is "Life in Pink."
Musically touching lives around the globe, Jon England has performed his Piano Orchestral Pops Show (or P.O.P.S. for short) in Theaters, Night-Clubs, Concert venues and on Television and Radio as well as hopping aboard some of the worlds most exclusive and luxurious cruise liners from time to time. His first sea-borne break came in the early 1980s when asked to play aboard Cunards fabled Queen Elizabeth II since when he has headlined alongside Vic Damone, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Al Jarreau, Kenny Burrell and many other names on repeat trips around the world. International relations have led to the creation of a U.S.A.-oriented twin album of Jons music entitled 'Velvet Piano'.
Always an afficionado of Liberace's performing style and remarkably varied pianistic skill, Jon was invited to participate in the Liberace International Piano Competition in Las Vegas. Jon took the coveted "Showmanship Professional" prize title in a packed field of contestants from all corners of the globe.
