Alleged scandal
I've removed the section titled 'The "Ralph Siegel" scandal'. Regardless of whether it's true, the statements regarding Siegel are contentious and, per Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons, cannot be allowed to remain without adequate references. In addition, the final paragraph about the singers' later lives is excessively intrusive and unconnected with the song. Ive posted the section below in case anyone wants to use them to create a more appropriate description of this situation. When Sophie and Magaly Gilles, the original singers, signed with Ralph Siegel, they were still minors and their parents were not aware of some of the "practices" in the entertainment industry. Ralph Siegel signed a contract with the parents that gave the sisters only a small percentage of sales.

In April 1982, the twins appeared on the French primetime television programme Droit de Réponse (TF1), and publicly reported that they each received only €5,000 for selling more than one million copies of their singles. They also stated that Ralph Siegel had decided not to work with the girls anymore and did not want to renegotiate their contracts. He claimed that the original contract was valid and that nothing could be done against him.

In 2003, Jean-Paul Cara, one of the French songwriters, confirmed that Siegel never intended for Sophie and Magaly to be a successful group. He just needed twin singers for this particular song.

Magaly died in 1996 of HIV-AIDS. Sophie suffered from high depressive syndrome and lived a secluded life in the South of France until her death in 2019. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:40, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
