This was so very considerate and sensitive of your reply, with this, the considerable amount of research for your reply/presentations.
I knew of course this music piece was a part of France and famous, but was unaware of such representations presented by the various artists you brought forward. I do remember Grace Jones as an actor, but not aware until now that she also sang, she is good in her own right.
And now, this melody just seems to stay put in my mind.

Ellen ten Damme (born 7 October 1967) is a Dutch actress, performer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Ten Damme both sings and acts in four languages (Dutch, English, French and German), and plays piano and keyboards, guitar and violin. During her school years Ellen was an enthusiastic gymnast, and incorporating some gymnastic tricks or even circus acts into her shows has become a trademark.
Ten Damme grew up in the rural village of Roden, close to the university town Groningen, where she studied Dutch for a while. However she switched to the Amsterdam Theatre School for stage, film, cabaret and musical actors. After spending a great deal of time in Germany, Ten Damme returned to Amsterdam, where she lives on a houseboat.

The one and only Eves Montand! This may well be one of the two greatest and most archetypal love songs ever written, the other being "Plaisir d'amour." The big difference is that this is pure happiness and optimism, life as see through rose-colored glasses, to be precise, whereas "Plaisir d'amour" is markedly about the heartbreak of love. This is essentially plaisir, the other essentially chagrin!
Quand je la prend dans mes bras Elle me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose.
Elle me dit des mots d'amour, Des mots de tous les jours, Et ça me fait quelque chose.
Elle est entré dans mon coeur Une part de bonheur Dont je connais la cause.
C'est elle pour moi. Moi pour elle dans la vie, Elle me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie.
Et dès que je l'apercois Alors je sens en moi Mon coeur qui bat....
