His life was that of an outsider who ultimately made it. In his memoirs, the legendary entertainer recounts the turmoil of his childhood, his first tentative steps into the world of Parisian music halls, and the people who influenced him the most on his path to international fame: Maurice Chevalier, Charles Trenet, Edith Piaf, to name just a few. Aznavour also speaks about the women in his life. There was a time when he had a girl in every port: from Montreal to the French Riviera to Las Vegas. With disarming openness and a healthy dose of self-irony, Aznavour shares the pain and regret of his turbulent private life, which is closely intertwined with his bittersweet lyrics.
