Diane Dufresne – Sur la même longueur d'ondes

Sur la même longueur d'ondes is Diane Dufresne's third album. It was released in 1975 and spawned at least four singles, "J'ai besoin d'un chum," "Chanson pour Elvis," "Partir pour Acapulco" and "Les hauts et les bas d'une hôtesse de l'air."

A French music magazine, established in 1982 and distributed in France, Belgium and Quebec, is named for the album, which I count among five Dufresne discs in my collection.
