After some corrections to the melody the piece would be recorded and released in 1969 becoming the biggest success for both artists. Concerto pour une voix was the #1 radio hit and it would be the 13th most played song of 1969 in France. Her fame quickly spreded to Asia where she is known as the absolute Queen of scat singing.
