Since Quebec had discovered Nana with "Quatre soleils", her many successful songs are played steadily by the Quebec radio stations. She is also one of the top record sellers of French singers. Right from its release, the album "Récital 70", live recording of her new songs, is on display in all the record shops. It announces the new tour planned for autumn 1970 in Quebec.

This trip will allow Nana to once again see the beautiful autumn landscapes that she knew six years earlier in Vermont as she accompanied Harry Belafonte, and to celebrate her birthday on stage. Just like her last stay, Nana rents an apartment in Montreal, this time on Sherbrooke Street, and she gives 39 concerts in front of enthusiastic 60.000 spectators who buy up 6.000 programs. Her tickets are selling so well that in several municipalities no publicity nor press releases are published in the newspapers. The 2.000 posters affixed in public places ensure a good part of promotion. In autumn 1970, Nana, along with Gilbert Bécaud, is the most popular foreign singer.

However, these two performers don't occupy the newspaper headlines. The media concentrate on the greatest political crisis of Quebec modern history that prevails: the October Crisis. Le Front de Libération du Québec (movement claiming Quebec Independance) kidnapped the British diplomat James Richard Cross and our Labour Minister Pierre Laporte. The latter will be found dead in the trunk of a car. The Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, invokes the War Measures Act. 450 citizens suspected of being independentists are arrested. They are sent to prison for months, without a warrant and being accused of anything. The situation is serious, because the civil laws are suspended.
