Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup
- Description (Brief)
- This sheet music for "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup," was originally written by Anna Sosenko and published by Chappell & Company in New York. This song became Hildegarde’s trademark tune, and enjoyed popularity both in the United States and in Europe, especially among Allied servicemen during World War II.

This cover features a full length photo of Hildegarde on a pink background.
