# J'ai tout oublié

"J'ai tout oublié" is a 2001 song recorded as a duet by the French artist Marc Lavoine and the Italian singer Cristina Marocco. The song was released on 19 November 2001 as the second single from Lavoine's eighth album, just entitled Marc Lavoine. It reached number one on the French Singles Chart, thus becoming to date the most successful single of the singer in France.

## Background and cover versions

The song was written by Marc Lavoine and the music composed by Georges Lunghini, the father of Elsa Lunghini. This song allowed Lavoine to take up with the success, because its previous single failed to reach Top 50. "J'ai tout oublié" was much aired on many radios such as NRJ.

In 2004, the song was covered by Jean-Louis Aubert, Calogero and Lorie on Les Enfoirés' album Les Enfoirés dans l'espace. This 4:57 version is the tenth track.
