- <p> Unless you're a rapper, in a heavy-metal band or Madonna,
- you've got to sing your heart out to make a dent in today's pop
- charts. Fortunately, that's just what French sensation Patricia
- Kaas does in Scene de Vie, her first album to be released in
- the U.S. She was just an 18-year-old raspy-voiced torch singer
- when Gerard Depardieu discovered her in 1985; two big-selling
- albums later, Kaas, who sings only in French, is her country's
- reigning chanteuse--its Edith Piaf for the 1990s. "I'm not
- really running after record sales," says Kaas. "If only a few
- people come to see me sing, that will be very good."
