Clips of Piaf, including her appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and several home movies, were projected throughout the evening. Duffy’s rendition of “Hymn to Love” featured extensive footage of the singer with her lover Marcel Cerdan, the famous boxer who died tragically in a plane crash.

The finale, as is usual for these types of events, featured all of the performers gathered onstage for an encore reprise of “La vie en rose” that ended the evening on a high note.
