"'De temps en temps'" (meaning "From Time to Time") is a 2007 song recorded by the French singer Grgory Lemarchal. It was released as the first single from his posthumous album, 'La Voix d'un ange', on 11 June 2007. The song was very successful in France and Belgium (Wallonia), topping the singles charts.
Song information
Lyrics and music were composed by Grgory Lemarchal and Davide Esposito (who had also composed the original version in Italian-language of Lemarchal's debut single "cris l'histoire").
With this song, Grgory Lemarchal carried out the best weekly sale of 2007 for a number-one single on the French Singles Chart : indeed, the single was sold more than 76,000 copies during its first week of release. These sales were qualified as "excellent" considering the collapse of the singles market in France, and "express[ed] the lively emotion which surround[ed] the singer's death"."Le single posthume de Grgory Lemarchal largement leader des ventes de disques", Charles Decant, 19 June 2007 [http://www.ozap.com/actu/single-posthume-gregory-lemarchal-leader-ventes-disques/117878 Ozap.com] (Retrieved 2 May 2008)
