Liliane Saint-Pierre performed the song 'Soldiers of love' almost entirely in Flemish during the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest. However, two versions of the single were released at the time: one single featured the Flemish version on the A-side, and this single featured a French version on the A-side.In the bilingual country of Belgium, this may have been a wise decision, because the south of Belgium simply refuses to feign interest in any Flemish entry. Although I have to admit, I don't know if this helped matters much for Liliane over there.
My collection: 7" single no. 4613
Found: Vinylroy.nl, received March 3, 2010
Cost: 2 euro
Tracks: 'Soldiers of love (Version Française)' / 'Soldiers of love (instrumental)'
Tx for sharing! Never knew there was a French version of this 'guilty pleasure'.
