A member of the Danish noble Huitfeldt family and originally named Henrik Jørgen Huitfeldt, he adopted the name Kaas when he inherited Det Kaasenlundske Fideikommis in 1881, as he was descended from Birgitte Christine Kaas married Huitfeldt (1682–1761), a granddaughter of Jørgen Kaas.

Jørgen Kaas (1618 – 30 January 1658 in Fyn) was a Danish colonel, lord of the fiefdom Lister in Norway, and owner of the Hastrup and Østergaard estates in Denmark.
The song was part of Kaas' concerts tours in 1990, 1994 and 1998, and thus is available in a live version on the albums Carnets de scène, Tour de charme and Rendez-vous.
Josef Müller, a Bavarian lawyer, would travel to Rome from Berlin with instructions from Hans Oster or Hans von Dohnanyi and confer with Kaas or the Pope's secretary Pater Robert Leiber, in order to avoid direct contact between Müller and the Pope.
The song was performed during Kaas' concert tours in 1991, 1994, 1998 and 2005, and was thus included on the live albums Carnets de scène, Tour de charme in an extended edit version, Rendez-vous and Toute la musique... and also on the singer's best of Rien ne s'arrête in a live version and Ma Liberté contre la tienne.

After the failure of her first single, "Jalouse", written by Élisabeth Depardieu and released in 1985, Kaas decided to collaborate with the famous songwriter Didier Barbelivien who composed for her ten of the eleven tracks on her debut album, Mademoiselle chante..., including "Mademoiselle chante le blues", which was co-written (lyrics) with Bob Mehdi.
The song was performed during Kaas' concert tours in 1991, 1994 and 1998, and was thus included on the live albums Carnets de scène, Tour de charme and Rendez-vous and also on the singer's best of Rien ne s'arrête and Ma Liberté contre la tienne in a live version.

It peaked at number five in its tenth week (it is Kaas' highest position on the French Singles Chart, and this recorded was also performed by her 1993 single "Il me dit que je suis belle") and remained in the top ten for four consecutive weeks, then dropped and fell off after the 18th week.
As indicates on the cover with the mention '1987-2001', the album, actually a best of, contains all Kaas' songs released as singles from her first five studio albums (Mademoiselle chante..., Scène de vie, Je te dis vous, Dans ma chair, Le Mot de passe).
