Or is this already common knowledge? I mean, I've always thought of Ferry as a chanteuse, anyway.

Well, Ferry is (a) alive and (b) has a penis, so ummmm....no.

Ferry's far too knowing to be Piaf.
Piaf = raw direct emotion.
The vocal wobble is a bit remeniscent of her though.

If confronted by a crazed hijacker, you'd want Ferry on your side. If the threat is Nazi occupation, however, go with Piaf.
