Dolores GRAY goes down one evening to one of the famous cellars and is introduced to the new life of St. Germain. The programme includes bebop, rock’n’roll and tap dancing by the Steps Brothers, with Luc BARNAY, a relaxed and charming singer. With a song of her own, she showed that she too was sensitive to syncopated rhythms. She met by chance Charles TRENET who sang “La Polka du Roi”.
