Elly Stone - Sons of ... (Fils de ...) download song

Thank you so much for posting this great music. What fantastic talent, Brel and the Ensemble!

I was Elly Stone's voice coach once. Every time I hear this song, I am overwhelmed.

Saw Ms Stone and Robert Guilliame in Jacques Brel is Alive and Living In Paris at the Huntington Hartford theatre in Hollywood in '68 I think. Loved her voice. bought the LP double album. They were superb!

Elly Stone is a legend for having done this and all of Brel's songs so many times in tours that she was pushed to the edge of a nervous breakdown, ---but no one could encompass the emotion of Brel's translations like she did. I hail her and the beautiful poetry and song of Brel, the consummate and misunderstood Bohemian composer of the post-war era.

I was raised on a number of these tracks - some from this recording, some of the original Brel recordings. This one, I knew first as the Judy Collins cover, which I adore. Both women bring a very different feeling to this song. Still, nothing compares to Brel's original. Love it all!

My mother played this in the 70's when I was just a child. I'll never forget it. Or her.

I get goose bumps. My hair stands on end every time I hear her sing this song. Lucky enough to hear her sing this the first time at the Village Gate Theater, then again at Carnegie Hall.

"..some never came home.."  This always gives me goosebumps on the anniversary of D-Day.
