AUTUMN LEAVES the story of a great standard...

[Jean Pierre]

Hi,

this song was written by Prevert and Kosma in 1945  for illuster the movie "Les portes de la nuit" with Yves Montand  this song was going to become, translated into English, a standard of the "Jazz" Autumn Leaves "" I make a cover here inspired by the version of Eric Clapton, with Band in box reealtracks and my guitar (and french accent scuse me)

ah oui i'lltry to do a french version but the sound of voice of Yves Montant is not possible for me

PS Hilary you can see my You tube version with the mix of the film "les portes de la nuit" and my cover...it s interesting for the historical knowledge of this beautiful song wich became a jazz standard after

No, a better idea : I I would make a cover of " the song of Prevert " of Gainsbbourg who is a song... about the song "les feulles mortes"

And in more it has been a long time since I want to sing it
