In 1988, she recorded "J'aurais voulu te dire", a song which was composed by François Feldman and Jean-Marie Moreau. It featured on French Singles Chart (named Top 50 at the time) from 25 February to 17 June 1989, and reached number 6 for three weeks in April and May 1989.^[2] This hit was also certified Silver disc by the SNEP, the French certifier, for a minimum of 200,000 copies sold.^[3]
