French Style
French Style is Dean Martin's first LP for Reprise Records. Recorded during February 1962, it features French-themed popular songs and chansons arranged by Neal Hefti. Among them "C'est si bon," which frequently appears on Dean Martin compilation albums; a rendition of Edith Piaf's classic "La Vie en rose"; the title song from the MGM classic Gigi; and two classic Cole Porter tunes. Originally released as Reprise LP R-6021, the album's tracks made their CD debut as part of the chronologically sequenced Bear Family box set Everybody Loves Somebody. A subsequent two-on-one CD by Collectors' Choice restored the original running order.
