An interesting little clip of the song Paroles...Paroles featuring Celine Dion and Alain Delon, the legendary French actor whose death was confirmed earlier today.
The song was originally released in 1973 by Dalida with Delon duetting with her, and featured on Dalida's Julien... album from that year. An adaptation of an Italian song, it reached the top ten in France at the time and sold well in other countries, becoming in subsequent years one of the best-known French songs internationally, and inspired covers in other languages.
Delon plays a supporting role in the song, perhaps wisely leaving the actual singing to the female vocalist
A video of the original was eventually released in 2019, Delon's involvement in the original essentially being only in the recording studio. Dalida would continue to perform the song live for the rest of her career, either solo or with other vocalists.
This version is from 1996, recorded in December 1996 for a New Year show broadcast on France 2 on December 31.
