On October 6, 1962 - Edith Piaf, marries in Paris.

With wedding bells set to chime, Edith Piaf was once again the talk of a town called Paris. Five van loads of gendarmes are dispatched to control a crowd of more than 3,000 admirers, eager to see the legendary 46-year old singer of torch songs marry a 25-year old hairdresser. As her admirers well know, The Little Sparrow never lived by convention. Born Edith Giovanna Gassion, Piaf means sparrow in French, she was raised by her grandmother, who owned a brothel and her father who was an acrobat. At 15 she was singing in the streets until a gangster clothed her in a black dress and placed her on a nightclub stage. From then on, her voice sounded the heart and soul of Paris, city of lovers - forever as young as Miss Piaf, on her wedding day.
