Le Cœur d'un homme is an album by the French singer Johnny Hallyday. It was released on November 12, 2007, and achieved huge success in France and Belgium (Wallonia). It was led by the single "Always", a number 2 hit in France, and contains a cover version of Francis Cabrel's 1989 single "Sarbacane". French actor Bruno Putzulu wrote one song of the album. The final track of the album, "I Am the Blues", co-written by U2's lead singer Bono, is a rare example of a Hallyday song in English.
