1966 was marked by an extensive year-long world tour that started on 13 February in Paris, and ended on 31 December in Toulouse. With more than 150 dates, Dalida toured Canada, Latin America, Arab states and across Europe. The year debuted with a number-one hit in Latin America, El Cordobes, which was a product of friend collaboration with bullfighter Manuel Benitez, to whom Dalida dedicated the song as they had a brief affair. In the same period, Dalida also started employing family members, with her cousin Rosy as her secretary, and brother Bruno as her artistic director. Until the end of year, they produced the successful Italian album "Pensiamoci ogni sera" and three more EPs. "Parlez moi de lui" did not achieve commercial success but became one of her first power ballads, based on experiences in her own life, and made famous in US by Cher as The Way of Love. On the contrary, Bang Bang was the number one hit in Argentina and Italy where it was also the best selling record of the year. "Petit homme" charted internationally and was accompanied with Dalida delivering energetic live performances with tambourine. Dalida also returned to wide screen, with a supportive role in French satiric movie "La Morale de l'histoire" that included the unreleased song "Je sortirais sans toi". During summer in Rome, on RAI set she was introduced to a new avant-garde cantautor Luigi Tenco as they also retrospectively sang "La danza di zorba" in duet. Later in September, her Italian managers suggested that she participate with Tenco at the next Sanremo Music Festival. Although in previous years she declined the festval, she accepted this time as she was in a secret relationship with Tenco.
