Elaine Paige OBE (born Elaine Jill Bickerstaff, 5 March 1948) is an English singer and actress best known for her work in musical theatre. Raised in Barnet, North London, Paige attended the Aida Foster stage school, making her first professional appearance on stage in 1964, at the age of 16. Her appearance in the 1968 production of Hair marked her West End debut.
Following a number of roles over the next decade, Paige was selected to play Eva Perón in the first production of Evita in 1978, which brought her to the attention of the broader public. For this role, she won the Laurence Olivier Award for Performance of the Year in a musical. She went on to originate the role of Grizabella in Cats and had a Top 10 hit with "Memory", a song from the show. In 1985, Paige released "I Know Him So Well" with Barbara Dickson from the musical Chess, which remains the biggest-selling record by a female duo. She then appeared in the original stage production of Chess, followed by a starring role in Anything Goes which she also co-produced. Paige made her Broadway debut in Sunset Boulevard in 1996, playing the lead role of Norma Desmond, to critical acclaim. She appeared in The King and I from 2000 to 2001, and six years later she returned to the West End stage in The Drowsy Chaperone. She has also worked sporadically in television.
Elaine Paige is the second solo album from Elaine Paige, released in 1981. The album charted at #56 in May 1982 and was re-issued on CD in 1995 by Warner Music. The recording was produced by Tim Rice and Andrew Powell. Paige had met Rice when she was cast as Eva Perón in the original stage production of his musical Evita in 1978. He also wrote lyrics for a number of the tracks on the album. Rice's former writing partner Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the arrangement of the track "The Second Time", for which Rice had set words to Francis Lai's theme to the film Bilitis.
The track "Secrets" was originally written for the Barbra Streisand album Guilty, but didn't make it on to the final record.
Soon after completing recording of the album, Paige stepped into the role of Grizabella in the musical Cats very soon before its opening night after Judi Dench, who was to have played the role, damaged her Achilles tendon during rehearsals.
"Hymne à l'amour" (French pronunciation: [imn a lamuʁ]; French for "Hymn to Love") is a popular French song originally performed by Édith Piaf.
The lyrics were written by Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot. She first sang this song at the Cabaret Versailles in New York on September 14, 1949. It was written to her lover and the love of her life, the French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. On October 28, 1949, Cerdan was killed in a plane crash on his way from Paris to New York to come see her. She recorded the song on 2 May 1950.
"Hymne à l'amour" was adapted into Japanese in 1951 as "Ai no Sanka" (愛の讃歌, "Love Hymn"), by singer Fubuki Koshiji (越路吹雪), featuring lyrics by Tokiko Iwatani (岩谷時子). The song became one of her signature songs, amassing around 2,000,000 copies sold of various singles featuring this song.
"Hymne à l'amour" was translated into English by Piaf's protégé Eddie Constantine as "Hymn to Love", which was recorded by Piaf on her album La Vie En Rose / Édith Piaf Sings In English (1956). This version was featured on Cyndi Lauper's 2003 album At Last. It was also adapted into English as "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)" with lyrics by Geoffrey Parsons, first recorded in this form in 1952 by Vera Lynn. Piaf then sang this version in Carnegie Hall at both of her performances in 1956 and 1957. Subsequent covers by Kay Starr in 1954, Shirley Bassey in 1959 and Brenda Lee in 1961 brought fame to this version. Raquel Bitton features "Hymn to Love" in her tribute to Piaf 2000.

On my own pretending he's beside me
All alone i walk with him till morning
Without him i feel his arms around
And when i loose my way i close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness the trees are full of starlights
And all i see is him and me
Forever and forever
And i know it's only in my mind
That i'm talking to myself and not to him
And although i know that he is blind
Still i say there's a way for us
I love him but when the night is over
He is gone the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him but everyday i'm learning
All my life i've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness
That i have never known
I love him......
I love him......
