- Édith Piaf -- orientation only, not used as scored evidence for any row
- Édith Piaf (Q1631) -- verified live: label 'Édith Piaf', description 'French singer (1915-1963)'
- Carolyn Burke, No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf (Knopf/Bloomsbury, 2011) -- serious independent English-language biography, drawing on previously untapped Piaf documents. NOT read as full text this cycle; accessed via a professional review (Kirkus) that engages its specific claims, and via a press obituary (of Georges Moustaki, see src_piaf_moustaki_wwno below) that quotes a specific documented anecdote directly from Burke's book. Counted as ONE perspective regardless of how many secondary pieces cite it, per this rubric's same-author rule.
- "Charles Dumont, songwriter whose hit Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien gave Edith Piaf her comeback" -- independent press account, opened and read in full, non-self and behavioral: gives a specific dated (5 October 1960) account of Dumont and lyricist Michel Vaucaire's visit to Piaf's Boulevard Lannes apartment, with direct quotes of her behavior and words during the audition of the song that became her 1960s comeback anthem.
- "Georges Moustaki, Who Wrote Songs For Edith Piaf, Dies" (WWNO, NPR-affiliate) -- independent press obituary, opened and read in full, non-self and behavioral, explicitly citing and quoting Carolyn Burke's biography for the specific documented anecdote of how Piaf and Moustaki wrote the lyric to "Milord" together (the paper-napkin/"Start from there" episode).
- "It was not events that marked my life and career; it was more the people I met" -- an interview with Charles Aznavour, ArtDependence Magazine -- independent press interview, opened and read in full, self-testimony FROM AZNAVOUR (not from Piaf) describing her specific mentorship of him: encouraging him to write his own chansons, giving him performance opportunities (Montreal), and her core artistic lesson to him, directly quoted.
- "Quand Édith Piaf découvre Yves Montand: l'histoire d'un pari qui a changé la chanson française" -- independent French press account, opened and read in full, non-self and behavioral: documents specific, concrete changes she made to Montand's act (gestures, elocution, costume, repertoire, stage name) and describes her rehearsal method as requiring him to restart passages repeatedly until she judged the interpretation correct, with Montand's own acknowledgment quoted ("She taught me everything").
