Commercial performance

Serge Lama's original version wasn't particularly popular in France, TV and radio programmers preferred the reverse side of the single, "Les p'tites femmes de Pigalle". It became a hit when Dalida sang it, then the French began to like it from both singers and it became a must. After Dalida had passed on, a duet version between the two was released that also became a major hit. It's also Alice Dona's best selling song.
