Renaud is celebrating his 74th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-actor Renaud (Mistral gagnant, Morgane de toi, Laisse béton, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 74th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Renaud, a cultural icon

Born Renaud Séchan in Paris on May 11, 1952, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Renaud'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 Renaud hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Renaud as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 74.

Happy Birthday, Renaud, you're the best!
