Lucien Morisse wishing to attend the competition and Eddy Barclay wanting to go to the movies. Lucien Morisse, captivated by the beauty of Dalida, summons her to her offices on rue François 1er a few days later, she quickly records her first single: Madona, a French adaptation of a Portuguese title by Amália Rodrigues, Barco Negro . Faced with this mixed success and a second disc, Le torrent, which was hardly more effective, Lucien Morisse thinks he has found the title that will be Dalida's trademark: Bambino. He blocks the song and has it recorded overnight. Result of the races: a song sold for 1/2 million 45 rpm, more than a year in the charts and first gold record. Lucien Morisse invents the bludgeoning, Bambino passes every hour on the antenna of Europe 1.
