Michel Sardou is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Michel Sardou (Les Lacs du Connemara, La Maladie d'amour, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Sardou, a cultural icon

Born in Paris on January 26, 1947, Michel Sardou's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Sardou'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 Michel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michel Sardou as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.

Happy Birthday, Michel, you're the best!
