Overview
- Universal presented “C’est l’amour que j’attendais” on Thursday, with the track appearing on Friday’s remastered 40th‑anniversary reissue of Rock’n’roll attitude, which coincides with the eighth anniversary of Hallyday’s death.
- The ballad was recorded during the 1985 sessions and was left off the original LP before the tape went missing for decades.
- TF1 broadcast an exclusive excerpt during its 13H newscast ahead of the release.
- Universal catalog manager Xavier Perrot says the tape was found “totally by chance” while staff were researching other material.
- Written, composed and produced by Michel Berger, the duet joins a pattern of archival Hallyday releases, including a 1968 recording issued by Universal in 2020.
