...many an embarrassed and discomfited Dutchman, wishing only that the whole ugly scandal would disappear, such words, with their apparent ring of authenticity, sounded comforting indeed. The only trouble was that in Queen Juliana's mind matters were not so neatly settled. Reading the printed reports, she seethed. Since when did a Queen of the House of Orange have to promise anything to her confidential advisers?

The lugubrious sentiment is by Poet Raymond Queneau, but the dark caramel voice which murmurs it in throbbing French in a newly released Columbia album belongs to a 29-year-old Parisian chanteuse named Juliette Greco. For U.S. listeners the album offers a fresh view of a singer whose literate, melancholy repertory and haunting voice have made her the musical idol of the existentialists and a reigning favorite along the music hall and nightclub circuit...
