Michel Fugain is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter Michel Fugain (Viva la vida, Fais comme l’oiseau, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Fugain, a cultural icon
