Jean Michel Jarre is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.
Popular musician-composer Jean Michel Jarre (Rendez-vous, Équinoxe, Oxygène, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Jarre, a cultural icon
Born Jean-Michel André Jarre in Lyon on August 24, 1948, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Jarre's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jean Michel hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jean Michel Jarre as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.
Happy Birthday, Jean Michel, you're the best!
