History

Dalida sang in a low, deliberate contralto that carried the vowels longer than French pop usually allowed, and she used it across languages, recording in French, Italian, Arabic and several others for audiences that overlapped only partly. She was born in Cairo to an Italian family, arrived in Paris in the mid 1950s and broke through with Bambino, a Neapolitan song adapted for the French market, which fixed her early image as a Mediterranean singer in a Parisian setting. Her strongest records tend to be spoken as much as sung: Paroles, paroles works as a duet in which one part talks while the other refuses to believe it, and Gigi l'amoroso is closer to a short story with music under it. In the disco years she rebuilt the voice over a four-to-the-floor beat with Laissez-moi danser and stayed on television constantly. The public warmth never matched her private life, which was marked by repeated loss, and she died in Paris in 1987.
