Hervé Vilard is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter Hervé Vilard (Capri c'est fini, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Vilard, a cultural icon
Born in Paris on July 24, 1946, Hervé Vilard's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Vilard's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Hervé hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Hervé Vilard as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.
Happy Birthday, Hervé, you're the best!
