Youssou N’Dour ft. Neneh Cherry – 7 Seconds
This song was a big hit in the mid-90s (released 1994). A multilingual rendition done by the Senegalese N’Dour and the Swedish Cherry.
The song remained on the charts for nearly half a year and reaching the top three in many countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Russia and Poland.
Enjoy!
