The Egyptian-born Reda Caire - whose real name was Joseph Gandhour - was a popular singer of operettes in Paris in the 1930s and 1950s.  In the spring of 1937, Piaf and Caire toured together (mostly spa towns), sponsored by the Parisian music-hall, L'ABC.  The present photograph was likely signed around this time.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093446086815,"sku":"11193","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Piaf_SP_11193197.jpg?v=1722188074","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/11193-jazz-song-piaf-edith-caire-reda-early-signed-photograph-to-reda-caire","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
