Les 50 Plus Belles Chansons de Claude François is a comprehensive compilation of the late French chanteur's career. The three-CD collection includes the original versions of
Frank Sinatra's "My Way" ("Comme d'Habitude") and
Elvis Presley's "My Boy" ("Parce Que, Je T'aime Mon Enfant") and his covers of "If I Had a Hammer" ("Si J'Avais un Marteau"),
Herman's Hermits' "There's a Kind of Hush" ("Qu'Est-Ce Que Tu Deviens"), and
the Everly Brothers' "Made to Love" ("Belles Belles Belles"). ~ Jon O'Brien
