Album DescriptionAvailable in:

In 1985, all the music stars are more and more involved in charities and humanitarian events. Balavoine was invited to the Live Aid but did not have any chance to perform.
So the French created their own event, The Singers Without Borders, which was not a big success mostly because of the expensive price. Nevertheless, the concert album sold well.
During the Summer, Bala comes back in Scotland for his eighth and most successful record: Sauver l'amour. The French artist innovates again using his Fairlight and it is the first album released on Compact Disc. The Fairlight allows Balavoine to insert a lot of electronic effects and sound never heard before. Sauvez l'amour is the best demonstration of Balavoine's talent.
Mostly all the songs of the album became hits: "L'Aziza" in honor of his Jewish Moroccan wife and mother of his son, Corine; the main title song of the album, "Sauver l'amour" an hymn to love; "Tous les Cris, les SOS", a song about despair, "Petit Homme mort au Combat" which main theme is child soldiers, Aimer est plus fort que d'être aimé which was the last single released before Balavoine's death.
This album was a huge commercial success, the best one of Daniel Balavoine: 1,240,000 records sold and 1,580,000 singles sold.
Daniel Balavoine received, as a posthumous title, the Victoire de la Musique Album of the Year Award in 1986 for Sauver L'amour.
