Emmylou Harris - C’est la vie.

Описание: “C’est la Vie” is Emmylou Harris’ elegant country interpretation of the Chuck Berry classic. Originally written and recorded by Chuck Berry in 1972, the song carried his signature storytelling style and subtle humor. Harris transformed it into a warm, polished country-pop gem with her unmistakable crystal-clear vocals.

Her version appears on the album Luxury Liner, a record that further cemented her reputation as one of the leading voices in progressive country during the 1970s. Produced by Brian Ahern, the track blends traditional country instrumentation with a smooth West Coast feel, creating a relaxed but refined sound.

Released as a single in 1977, “C’est la Vie” became a major hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Harris’ rendition introduced the song to a broader country audience and remains one of her signature recordings. It has been a favorite on country radio and among fans of 70s country-rock ever since.

“C’est la Vie” er Emmylou Harris’ smukke countryfortolkning af en sang skrevet og oprindeligt indspillet af Chuck Berry i 1972. Hvor Berry gav nummeret sin karakteristiske fortællende stil med et strejf af humor, tilfører Harris en blødere og mere melodisk countrytone med sin klare og følsomme vokal.

Hendes version findes på albummet Luxury Liner fra 1977, som styrkede hendes position som en af 1970’ernes mest markante stemmer inden for moderne country. Produceret af Brian Ahern kombinerer indspilningen klassiske countryinstrumenter med en elegant West Coast-lyd, hvilket giver sangen et afslappet, men stilfuldt udtryk.

Singlen gik helt til tops på den amerikanske countryhitliste i 1977 og blev et af hendes store kendetegnende hits. “C’est la Vie” spilles stadig flittigt på countryradio og er et højdepunkt i hendes koncertrepertoire.

Udgivet i 1977.
