La voix du bon Dieu, released on 6 November 1981, includes songs produced by Angélil, Eddy Marnay, and Daniel Hétu. In addition to the new songs, the album includes three covers: Renée Lebas' "Tire l'aiguille", Berthe Sylva's "Les roses blanches", and "L'amour viendra", a French version of Dario Baldan Bembo's "Dolce fiore".
