The lyrics of Les Feuilles Mortes (1945) - translated (inadequately) as Autumn Leaves - are by the poet Jacques Prevert. The music is by Joseph Kosma. Yves Montand first introduced the song in the 1946 film Les Portes de la Nuit.

Many thanks, Bruce.
Forgive me. Have been 'offline' for a while. My choice, no physical reason.
Always best Wishes to you.
Hi Davoh, thanks for your visit and your good wishes. All good things to you too.
What fun! I keep looking out for old vinyl of the likes of Juliette Greco Jaques Brel, etc., to take to a local cafe where they have a record player for customers' use! I've found one or two!
I listened to the recordings you put online. It's great to be able to "sit in" when (like you) you can sing!
Dominic, I'm in the process of sorting my old vinyl records (part of the major clear out etc.). Will email you soon with list of some you can have if you want them.
Thanks for listening to my recordings - will add Les Feuilles Mortes etc ASAP.
