Les Fleurs du mal
Les Fleurs du mal (English: "The Flowers of Evil") is an album by Léo Ferré, released in 1957 by Odeon Records. It is his first LP dedicated to a poet and this is the first time in popular music history a whole album is dedicated to a dead poet. Léo Ferré has set Baudelaire into music two more times : in 1967 with double album "Léo Ferré chante Baudelaire", and with unfinished project "Les Fleurs du mal (suite et fin)", recorded in 1977 but posthumously released in 2008.
