Your Weekly Listen for 1\/13\/15 is a tribute to all who lost their lives defending free speech in Paris last week: the legendary Edith Piaf singing “Je ne regrette rien” (I regret nothing). <\/p>\n

\u00c9dith Piaf was an iconic French singer and a symbol of French passion and tenacity. Affectionately called “La M\u00f4me Piaf” (“The Little Sparrow”), she was born in Paris in 1915. She rose to fame as a singer of French art songs during World War Two, and after the war her reputation spread around the world. She also allegedly assisted in preparing false documents for a number of French soldiers so they could escape imprisonment by the Nazis. She died in France in 1963.<\/p>\n
