"Je suis malade" is a song by French singer and songwriter Serge Lama. It was released in 1973 (as a single and on his album titled Je suis malade).[1]
Composition and writing
The song was written by Serge Lama and composed by Alice Dona.[2]
Commercial performance
Serge Lama's original version wasn't particularly popular in France, TV and radio programmers preferred the reverse side of the single, "Les p'tites femmes de Pigalle". It became a hit when Dalida sung it, then the French began to like it from both singers and it became a must. After Dalida had passed on, a duet version between the two was released that also became a major hit. It's also Alice Dona's best selling song.[3]
