Michel Sardou
Encyclopedia
Michel Sardou is a French singer.
He was born in Paris, the son of Fernand Sardou
and Jackie Rollin (Jackie Sardou
). Contrary to claims common towards the beginning of his career, he is not the grandson of the dramatist Victorien Sardou
. However, he is the father of the French novelist Romain Sardou
, and the actor Davy Sardou
.
He is known not only for his love songs ("La Maladie d'Amour"), but also for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries, clerical celibacy
, colonialism
and the death penalty. Another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs ("Les Ricains" and "Monsieur le Président de France" for example) is his respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the United States. He has focused his full attention on his homeland, ignoring the prospect of an international audience, although his 1981 single "Les Lacs du Connemara" did manage to become a big international hit. A number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with Jacques Revaux
, a few others (most notably "En
Chantant") with Italian singer Toto Cutugno
.
Even in the 21st century, Michel Sardou remains quite popular in France, selling out 18 consecutive dates at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy
in 2001, while his 2004 album "Du plaisir" went straight to the no. 1 spot on the French album charts.
He has been married three times; first (1965–1977) to a dancer Françoise Pettré, the mother of his daughters Sandrine (b. 1970) and Cynthia (b. 1973); then (1977–1998) to Elizabeth "Babette" Haas, the mother of his sons Romain (b. 1974) who is a writer and Davy (b. 1978) who is a comedian; and lastly to a lifelong friend Anne-Marie Périer (the daughter of the actor François Périer
) who was the editor of the French version of Elle
magazine.
s or on tour with his parents.
His school situation was not brilliant and he carried out a life behind the scene and in theaters, so he decided to stop his studies. In 1963, at 16 years old, he planned to run away in Brazil
in order to open a Strip-tease club. His father caught him at the Airport. Then Michel announced to him his desire to work and to leave school.
While he was a waiter in his father's cabaret, he was earning his spurs on stage, he met Michel Fugain and had an audition for Eddie Barclay
.
and Patrice Laffont. Thanks to this song, he could be on TV for the first time but then he was completely forgotten.
In 1967, his career was really launched, thanks to a censorship: while France left NATO's military command and the Vietnam War
caused an anti-American sentiment in France, Michel Sardou launched Les Ricains (The Yankees), this song insists on the duty of gratitude towards the USA. Charles de Gaulle
didn't like this song and he advised against broadcasting it on the air.
This conferred a new notoriety to the singer. The song allowed espacially to lay the foundations for his futur artistic style. However from 1967 to 1970, he had difficulties being a big hit.
In view of the mitigated success of his singles, in 1969, Eddie Barclay
decided to terminate his contract, estimating that Michel was not cut out to be a singer.
So he launched the record label Tréma which would produce his records, with Jacques Revaux, who will become his most loyal composer and Regis Talar, a French record producer.
.
But Michel Sardou has proved that he has not gave up his singer career, as in 2004 he signed a contract with Universal Music for a new album entitled "Du plaisir", he took part also to the French television show Star Academy
and finally he organized a big tour in 2004 and 2005, in which he sang in France, in Belgium
, in Switzerland
and in Canada.
His new double album, entitled "Hors Format" was released on 13 November 2006. This album includes 23 new songs, one of whom is a duet with Chimène Badi
, "Le chant des hommes". Hors Format has reached 400 000 copies sold and it's a double platinum.
In 2007, he started his last tour, he sung in among others the Olympia and the Zénith de Paris.
Les Lacs du Connemara (Connemara Lakes) is also one of the most popular song of Michel Sardou. It is very often sung at the end of French student parties and at weddings in Flanders
