Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti (17 January 1933 - 3 May 1987), professionally known as Dalida, was an Italian-Egyptian and French singer and actress, born in Egypt to Italian parents. Her diverse repertoire and heartfelt interpretations of both sentimental ballads and pop music brought her adoration by mass audiences and by politicians and intellectuals alike.
In the early 1960s, Dalida was already household name in francophonie and the leading singer in Europe, and in 1964 she was awarded the first platinum disc in history. Dalida lined up new successes; "La danse de Zorba", "Il silenzio", "Bang bang", "Ciao amore ciao" and "Le temps des fleurs", which she sang at concerts around the world, spending two-thirds of each year on tour.
In 1970, Dalida became independent by founding her own record label, and continued success was guaranteed with a song "Darla dirladada". It was followed with some of the most notable French songs, "Paroles, paroles", "Je suis malade", "Gigi l'amoroso" and "Il venait d'avoir 18 ans". In the second half of the 1970s, Dalida brought disco to Europe with the song "J'attendrai" and established herself as the Reine du Disco ("Disco Queen" in French) with the songs "Besame mucho", "Génération 78" and "Laissez-moi danser". At the same time in the Middle East she leads with the raï megahits "Salma Ya Salama" and "Helwa ya baladi", the latter becoming the unofficial anthem of Egypt.
