Hardy recorded an English version of "Dans le monde entier", titled "All Over the World". In 1965, this song reached the charts in the United Kingdom, remaining there for 15 weeks (in the Top 50 from 25 March to 8 July 1965 - in the Top 20 from 29 April till 3 June[2]). In the Anglophone world, this may be Hardy's best-known song.[3]
