Dédié à toi is a French studio album released by Dalida in 1979.

Background

[edit]

In this album, Dalida sings once more Jacques Brel's "Quand on n'a que l'amour". She also memorializes her late lover Luigi Tenco through a cover of one of his masterpieces, "Vedrai vedrai". It includes her hit[citation needed] "Monday, Tuesday... Laissez-moi danser", and a patriotic homage to her birth country, Egypt, "Helwa ya balady".

It sold very well, meanwhile in Denmark it was certified gold in 1982 for selling 50 000 copies.[1]
