A legendary figure of Francophone music for over 60 years, his life has been a thrilling and remarkable series of adventures during which he has shared the stage with the greatest, triumphing from Montreal to Paris, Los Angeles to Rome, and Saint-Jérôme to Cannes. His musical audacity, artistic integrity, and powerful, timeless songs made him the first true rock star of his country and one of the founding voices of the Francophonie, whose international influence remains as vibrant as ever. Like other giants of Québécois song before him, such as Leclerc and Vigneault, Robert Charlebois has left a lasting mark on his era and profoundly influenced countless songwriters and performers. Still today an extraordinary force on stage, Charlebois is a unique and essential voice — the voice of an icon.
