Tino Rossi (1907-83) was born in Ajaccio and was known by the yucky epithet 'Le Roi des chanteurs de charme' ('The king of the charm singers') His 'Petit Papa Noël' (1946) remains the song which has sold the most number of copies in the history of the French recording industry. As the sign here notes in a shop in Lauris which is now a florist's, this is where he made his first public performances, on 14 and 15 September 1930. The representation of the harp on the façade strongly indicates that this building was originally designed for musical activities.
