40 years later, the title is still as cult. And will resonate in your head throughout the day when we reveal the title in question. “Special Partner”, a piece by the eponymous group released in 1985 was, and still is, a real hit. It was in the mid-1980s that the Girondin trio formed by Dominique Delaby, Éric Fettweis and Pierre Béraud-Sudreau really got into song.
After sending demos to several record companies, it’s no surprise the title “Special Partner” that grabs attention. Broadcast on the radio in 1986 as recalled Nostalgia, the song will be a huge success and propel the trio to third place in the Top 50 of sales for 25 consecutive weeks. 40 years later, the song is still broadcast and even included in some films.

The jackpot for “Partner Particulier”, but not as much as Patrick Hernandez
One thinks for example of Philippe Lacheau who wished to wink at the group in the first part of“Alibi.com”. The actor and director used sound for his famous scene with Élodie Fontan, at the start of their relationship, when the two are constantly giving each other gifts.
But today, does the title still bring money to the group? Like Patrick Hernandez and his famous “Born to Be Alive” ? The answer is yes”. Indeed, questioned by Tele-LeisureÉric Fettweis, who specifies that he is only “co-author” And “co-composer” and therefore sees the royalties divided by two, admits that the sum collected thanks to the title “significantly helps”. According to him, “Partner Particulier” allows him to earn “between 15 and 30,000 euros per year”, depending on the year. A financial security which, at the time, enabled him to “pay the cigarettes” he quipped.
