I was there too. I remember her looking at the pinetree on her right, and saying some words to the cricket. Then she began to improvise about the cricket. The audience was amazed ! It seems to me that her song lasted very uch longer than was is actually recorded. Anyway, I was 56 years younger, and that's terrible ! I think it was not actually a cricket, but a "cigale", a kind of cicada, very common in south of France.
@@jean-paulcorbier7730 Say, folks, maybe we should have a virtual meeting of all of us who fondly remember the night of the "cigales". Man, it was hot in La Pinède Gould.
I met Ella in JuanLesPins 1964 -and was present at the concert-when she made up the Cricket song -Twas wonderfully unforgettable. RainbowGeorgeWeiss.

Merci pour ce voyage dans le temps
From back when people listened to people because they could really sing not because of how flamboyant they were
😍
is it possible to have the whole recording of this concert ??
Certainly, you can buy the double-cd Ella at Juan le Pins.
I just love 💘 her, and I'm not into that era
Live......shows pictures. Sigh....
