French Style is Dean Martin's first LP for Reprise Records.
Recorded during February 1962, it features French-themed popular songs and
Chansons arranged by Neal Hefti. Among them "C'est si bon", which
frequently appears on Dean Martin compilation albums, a rendition of Edith
Piaf's classic La Vie En Rose, the title song from the MGM classic Gigi (1958
film) and two classic Cole Porter tunes. Originally released as Reprise LP
R(S)-6021 ('S' distinguishing the stereo pressing), the album's tracks made
their CD debut as part of the chronologically sequenced Bear Family box set
"Everybody Loves Somebody" (BCD 16343). A subsequent two-on-one CD
(together with Martin's succeeding album Dino Latino) by Collectors' Choice
restored the original running order.
