Now the former artwork, the one put in before moderation, seems to fit the tracklisting better. There must be a Jean Stilwell (don't know her, she seems to be a soprano) with this tracklisting.

Further inquiry : IMO this tracklisting is not for an Edith Piaf album. It's probably a various artists compilation with only "La Vie en rose" and "T'es beau, tu sais"by Piaf, and other titles by other French artists (Brel ["Ne me quitte pas"], Joséphine Baker ["J'ai deux amours], Poulenc ["Banalités", "Les Chemins de l'amour", maybe by Yvonne Printemps ?, "Hommage"], Satie ["Je te veux"], Debussy ["Beau soir"],etc.).

Too theatrical for me.

On a side note : Edith Piaf never sang "Ne Me Quitte Pas", and anyway I can't see how a 1959 song could be on a 1950 album 🤔
