French postcard by Publistar, no. 1457. Photo: L. Camil. Though sometimes dismissed in France as little more than a 'chanteur de charme' ('a ladies' singer') Julien Clerc (1947) in fact enjoyed one of the most successful and longest-lived careers in contemporary French pop. He shaped the nouvelle chanson aesthetic across a span of decades that began in the shadow of the student rebellions of 1968 with the hit La Cavalerie and continued well into the following century with such evergreens as Si on Chantait and This Melody.
