"Elle M'a Oublie" by Joe Falcón

Song: Elle M'a Oublie (She Has Forgotten Me)
Artist: Joseph Falcón with Cléoma & Orphy Breaux
Album: B-side of "C'est Si Triste San Lui" 78 (1929)
Also try:  other early Cajun collections, such as Yazoo's Early American Cajun Music, Arhoolie's Cajun Breakdown, etc.
Commentary: I've heard a few other songs by Joe & Cléoma (who were married) and they rock. Cléoma's singing is great, but I just love the vocals in this song. Heard on Dust-to-Digital's the Harry Smith's B-Sides release.
