The iconic and legendary singer turns 77 on Thursday, Sep. 26, 2024.

Philippe Lavil is celebrating his 77th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Philippe Lavil (Elle préfère l'amour en mer, Il tape sur des bambous, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 77th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Lavil, a cultural icon

Born Philippe Durand de La Villejégu du Fresnay in Fort-de-France on September 26, 1947, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Lavil'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 Philippe hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Philippe Lavil as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 77.

Happy Birthday, Philippe, you're the best!
