Spécial Dalida is a French Album released by Dalida at the start of 1982. After recording 5 new songs for a TV special Dalida headlined on New year's eve surrounded by other fellow French stars, Orldando Production decided to release a full album containing the recorded songs of the TV show plus other songs that will be released as singles.
The album contains a french version of Dalida's big Arab hit Helwa ya baladi, the french version is dedicated to the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat who was assassinated in 1981. Dalida went on to record a Spanish version of that same song called "Io T'amero (Tres Palabras)". Among other songs, the album contains a disco dance version of Dalida's 1959 hit "Le jour où la pluie viendra" composed by Gilbert Bécaud.
The album was successful in France and other French speaking countries and Dalida promoted the album through TV specials and radio shows around Europe.
