		Trenet, who lived to be 87, was an archetypally flamboyant Frenchman who not only wrote both words and music but also was the greatest performer of his own compositions--a singer-songwriter about 30 years before the concept became popular in the States.
		As a solo artist, Trenet came to be identified by his beaming, Harpo Marx-like visage, his famous tilted fedora and light-blue suit, as well as a series of songs that were by turns lightly comic or lightly romantic, sometimes both.
		Trenet came to this country shortly afterward and told me he loved what I had done, which was very gracious of him, considering that I had completely changed the intention of his song.
