Maurice Chevalier - On A Slow Boat To China Ma Belle Marguerite
Review by Marcio Venturelli
Maurice Chevalier's album On A Slow Boat To China Ma Belle Marguerite is a delightful collection of vintage French songs that transport the listener to a bygone era of romance and elegance. Chevalier's signature crooning style and playful charm are on full display in tracks like "La Choupetta" and "C'est Magnifique," while his more sentimental side shines through in ballads like "La Mer" and "Mimi." The album's title track, a classic American standard, is given a French twist that adds a touch of whimsy to the already enchanting melody. On A Slow Boat To China Ma Belle Marguerite is a delightful listen for anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of French chanson.
