Talk:Ne me quitte pas

message: Am I crazy, or hasn't she covered this song as well, and wouldn't it be significant to make note of it? I have an mp3 that certainly sounds like her, though I can't seem to find anything on Google confirming it. Firebreeze 08:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Edith piaf did most definitely cover this song as I have it on CD. However I can't find any album by here containing this song other than her best of released in 2003. CDDB entry(incorredctly listed as 'no me quitte pas'. Does anyone know if the edith piaf version was released on any other album? --Spuzzdawg 05:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: maybe it's Mireille Mathieu's version? and if you are sure it's Edith's would you mind sending it to me? cuz i can't find it anywhere!! Placeblues (talk) 21:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Compiling an exhaustive list is a lot of work, and i now wonder whether worthwhile. It soon starts resembling "My Way", where everyone in the world has sung it. Perhaps we should keep it down to the major ones?
I didn't finish yet, one can find more at fr:Liste d'interprètes de Jacques Brel

thread_title:  Cover versions 

message: "To illustrate what an immense artist Brel was, an anecdote - It is rarely known that ("ne me quitte pas") was written after Brel was thrown out of Zizou's (Suzanne Gabriello - his mistress at the time) life after casting shame and sadness upon her. Zizou was pregnant from Brel and had an abortion after Brel refused fatherhood. Odd as it may seem, in Brel's tormented and emotional mind, it is she that had left him. Understanding this, provides a narrow but magnificent glimpse into the spirit of this giant performer."
Does that sound neutral and impartial to you? Because to me, it sounds like the writer couldn't have his tongue more firmly wedged in Brel's ass.
:It has that tone to it.  Also, it's not clear how the anecdote, if true, illustrates what an immense artist Brel was.  Wanderer57 23:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is unclear indeed. I just put back the anecdotal data, exempt of the qualifiers, as i think it interesting. (But it remains unsourced for the moment, so have at it if you must) --Jerome Potts 04:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Quoting the article: "Nina Simone in her June 1965 I Put A Spell On You album (this is the most famous cover of the song)"
Any reference for this statement?  Wanderer57 18:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, my bad (i think i did that). Uh right now i don't feel like hunting for a text somewhere which says that, so that i can say "See? They say it too!". Just trust me on this one (Laughter). No, really. Put a  if you want, hopefully someone (me?) will address the issue sometime. Perhaps what would be suitable is the number of records sold + airplay figures of that rendition, as compared to other's, but this sounds like a lot of work. I'll bet big on hers. --Jerome Potts 03:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  most famous cover? 

message: There's no mention in this article of the high-pitched otherworldly sound at the beginning and end of the original recording of this song.  I would guess that it's a musical saw, but can anyone find a source?  75.49.251.170 (talk) 09:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is it? 

message: or The Red and the Black
It seems to me highly unlikely that this is a reference to Stendhal's novel, in which the red and black are generally interpreted as referring to the two careers that are possible for Julien, the church and the military; and blood (the attempted murder) and death (Julien's by execution, Mme de Rênal's of despair) [see ] for example], not the meeting of opposites the song talks about. If a case has been made by any reputable critic that it is, there should be a reference; unless I hear to the contrary, I propose to tag the statement preparatory to removing it.

message: Faudel covered this song in the late 1990s, but I don't know exactly when it was recorded or for what purpose. It was later used as the intro for a TV show in Israel, "HaBurganim". Weedefinition (talk) 13:50, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Covered by Faudel

message: Per WP:NSONGS which reads, "Songs with notable cover versions are normally covered in one common article about the song and the cover versions." Richhoncho (talk) 19:14, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
