"Mourir sur scène" is a 1983 song by Dalida, and is often recognized as Dalida's most iconic late-career song.[1] The song was written by Michel Jouveaux and Jeff Barnel. Today, it is widely considered to be one of the most popular French songs in music history.[2]
The single appears on the album Les p'tits mots, released in 1983. This song, not anticipated as a success, was published as the B-side of Les petits mots. Due to the song's success, it would become a staple of Dalida's live repertoire until her final concert in 1987.[1]
Ajda Pekkan covered it in Turkish in 1985 as Bir Gece Sahnesi (One Night on the Stage). Shirley Bassey covered it in English as "Born to Sing", in 1986.
