Corinne Hermes won the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Si la vie est cadeau'. That same year, the singer Sanci Bell recorded an English version of that song entitled 'Words of love'. It's hard to find any information on Sanci Bell, she didn't release much more than this one single, I have to assume.And even this cover isn't a very pretty version. One has to wonder why a French singer has to record an English version of a French song anyway...
My collection: 7" single no. 3675
Found: Record fair, Utrecht, April 18, 2009
Cost: 6 euro
Tracks: 'Words of love' / 'Si la vie est cadeau (Version Orchestrale)'
It's strange to listen to this song not with Corinne Hermes sweet vocal. I don't like arrangement of this cover, but I should say, that Sanci also has very beautiful jazzy vocal.
