Henry Cording ?

Henri Salvador a eu une influence considérable sur le monde musical, du fait de ses nombreuses rencontres artistiques au fil des années. Mais connaissez-vous l’épisode “Henry Cording” ?

https://amf.didiermary.fr/african-jazz-grand-kalle-parafifi-1957/

You smile and the angels sing
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start

You speak and the angels sing
Or is it just a gentle murmur from the start?
