Plaisir d'amour" (“Pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Célestine.
Nana Mouskouri - Plaisir d'amour (1971).
Her mesmerising coverage of this song is the most beautiful soul searching version ever. Her voice stirs the heart, the soul with memories of past loves and sorrows, and gives inner peace. She makes the song flows like soft silk….with complete control over those beautiful vocal chords.
The song was covered by the legendary Nana Mouskouri (who had released more than 200 albums in 13 different languages), with an appropriate nickname bestowed……”The Voice”.
Enjoy 😊
