Un jour, un enfant - Frida Boccara

Frida Boccara was born on October 29, 1940 in Casablanca, Marocco. She started her singing career in the Sixties. In 1969, she represented France during the Eurovision Song Contest. Her monumental ballad 'Un jour, un enfant' was one of the four songs to win the Contest that year, since no rules were in place for a tiebreak.

This single was made in Holland and contains mono versions of the two tracks. It did not reach the charts in the Netherlands, which may be caused by the country's own victory by Lenny Kuhr. Frida Boccara died on August 1, 1996.
