In 1981, two different 7" were released: the first one with "Tout pour la musique" as the A-side and "Résiste" as the B-side, and the other one with the reverse. Gall said she particularly liked the song as the message it conveys has remained relevant throughout yea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
