Scottish pop singer Jimmy Somerville recorded a cover version of the French version in 1989, together with June Miles Kingston for his debut solo album 'Read my lips'.The track was released in November 1989 as Somerville's first solo single. It reached number 14 in the UK singles chart and number 30 in the Dutch Top 40.
