Item Description
Detailed DescriptionIn 2012, the U.S. Postal Service is partnering with La Poste of France
to celebrate the musical talents of Edith Piaf and Miles Davis with the MILES DAVIS/EDITH PIAF (FOREVER®) stamps.
Music
speaks an international language and these stamps celebrate a lively
conversation between the U.S. and France. Edith Piaf (1915-1963) is one
of the few French popular singers to become a household name in the
U.S.; the great American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis (1926-1991) is
beloved in France, where he performed frequently and was made a
Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. He was also awarded the Grande
Médaille de Vermeil by the city of Paris (the equivalent of making him
an honorary citizen).
The stamp art captures Piaf in a dramatic
pose, typical of her emotional performances. Standing on stage in her
signature black dress, the waif-like singer, who stood less than five
feet tall, moved audiences to tears with her soulful delivery. Davis
epitomized “cool” style and was one of the most important musicians of
his era; the stamp art depicts him in a kinetic performance pose,
suggesting his extraordinary, charismatic intensity.
Art director
Greg Breeding designed the stamps using an undated, black-and-white
photo of Piaf from the Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images and a
black-and-white photo of Davis, from 1970, by David Gahr.
The
Edith Piaf and Miles Davis stamps are being issued as Forever stamps,
which are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail
one-ounce rate.
