"La vie en rose" is her signature song, in French it means "life through rose-coloured glasses", or literally, "life in pink". The song has become a standard and has been performed by many artists like Louis Armstrong, Plácido Domingo, Ella Fitzgerald. It was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998.

Reading her biography on Wikipedia gives the feeling fate wasn't so kind to her:
- She lived in a brothel as a kid.
- She became blind from age 3 to 7 and deaf from age 8 to 14.
- She lost her only child to meningitis.
- Her agent was murdered and she was accused of being an accomplice.
- The love of her life died in a plane crash.
- She had a serious car accident she never really recovered from and became addicted to drugs as a consequence.
- She died of cancer at age 47. (same age as Judy Garland)
Yet she became the most loved (and probably the greatest) French performer of all time.
