“Words, words and more words that you sow in the wind”launched Dalida to Alain Delon in the tube Words, words, released in 1973. Almost fifty years later, the singer’s brother, Orlando, went behind the scenes of this song on the show Come on, I’ll take you this Friday, February 25 on France 3 which was devoted to “mythical duos”. “I had discovered this song in Italy, it was the credits of a Saturday night show, a bit like the Carpentiers, and I thought it was a title for Dalida. It was a two-headed eagle since it was a duo, and Dalida immediately thought of Alain Delon“recalled the brother of the star, who was also his producer.
It was she who chose Alain Delon for this duet
“Dalida and Alain Delon, it was a very long friendship. They had started together. They had lived on the same landing when they arrived in Paris”said Orlando. “Dalida had already made a demo with his voice so he could get comfortable. He arrived and, in two takes, he blew us away“continued the one who still remembers the “great professional that he was”. “There was a nice atmosphere, that’s it”, he concluded without giving further details. He then considers the two stars as friends and colleagues, partners simply for the time of a song. But something had actually escaped him. Something he would only learn when his sister died in 1983.
“A great love story”
“There was a great complicity between Dalida and Alain Delon. Wasn’t there a little idyll, a little love story in the air?“relaunched Laury Thilleman, causing laughter on the set. “Listen, frankly, when they recorded the song, I did not know“assured Orlando on France 3. “It was when Dalida left that he revealed that he had had a great love story with her, it was a great discovery“revealed the brother of Dalida. “When he really speaks of her with such affection, sometimes he even has tears in his eyes“he confided with emotion behind his smoked glasses.
