  • Cover of MA VIE FOUT L' CAMP in 1998 - 5 x 4 measures in Frozen; n°1 UK, n°2 US & NL, n°3 B; sued successfully for plagiarism in Belgium; it wasn't just these (matching) measures, both Acquaviva and Madonna seem to know the same person and Madonna's defence wasn't convincing enough to exclude he worked as go-between
