Un homme sans racines is a 2004 album recorded by FrenchsingerGérald De Palmas. It was his fourth studio album and his fifth album overall, and his most successful in terms of peak positions. It reached number one in France in its first week of release, on 24 November 2004, and remained for 14 non consecutive weeks in the top ten and 97 weeks in the top 200. In Belgium (Wallonia), it peaked at #6 in its third week on 20 November 2004 and stayed for 53 weeks in the top 40. It achieved moderate success in Switzerland where it reached number 36 and was ranked for 18 weeks. This album was more intimate than the previous ones, with less music, but still in the same melancholic style. It provided a sole single : "Elle danse seule", which was #22 in France.
The album title refers to the singer's childhood spent in La Réunion. The song "Elle habite ici" was much aired on French radio.[1]
According to Le Parisien, 650,000 units of the album were sold.[2]
