Piaf was in a weakened physical state at the time of the performance, and a doctor watched from the wings.[3] She died the following year at age 47.

The album includes a duet on "A Quoi Ca Sert L'Amour" ("What Good Is Love?") with Théo Sarapo, a 26-year-old singer who she married two weeks later.[4]
