French chanson singer, lyricist, and composer. Born in Sète in the south of France as the son of a stonemason. He moved to Paris in 1940 and made his debut in 1952. His first album, released in 1954, won the Grand Prix de France disc award, and he became so popular that his songs appeared on the hit charts alongside other popular songs. He played the guitar and sang his own compositions, and his songs were intellectually refined and full of poetry and passion. The content of his songs, starting with his debut song "Bad Rumors," was also permeated with a rebellious spirit. His singing style was rather blunt, but he always exuded a warm humanity. He was known as the "national poet," receiving an award from the Académie Française in 1967, but illness prevented him from performing much in the 1970s.

フランスのシャンソン歌手、作詞家、作曲家。南フランスのセートに石工の子として生まれる。1940年パリに出て52年にデビューし、54年に出した最初のアルバムでディスク大賞を受け、以後ほかの流行歌と並んでヒット・チャートにもあがるほどの人気を得るようになる。ギターを弾いて自作を歌うが、その歌は知的洗練を極め、かつ詩情・情熱にあふれている。またその内容もデビュー曲の『悪い噂(うわさ)』以下、反骨精神に貫かれていた。歌い方はむしろぶっきらぼうなほうだったが、つねに温かい人間味を感じさせた。67年アカデミー・フランセーズから賞を受けるなど、「国民的詩人」の名をほしいままにしたが、70年代に入ると病気のためにあまり活動ができなくなった。 [田井竜一] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
