Jean-jacques GoldmanJean-Jacques Goldman (born October 11, 1951) is a French singer and songwriter. He is hugely popular in the French-speaking world, and in 2003 was the second-grossing French pop singer, after Johnny Hallyday. Born in Paris to immigrant Polish Jewish parents, Jean-Jacques was the third of four children and learned first the violin, and then the piano as a child. In 1968, he abandoned his classical music studies for the guitar. He also earned a business degree from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales in Lille. In 1972, he met Catherine, his first wife, with whom he had three children. He first entered the French music scene as member of a prog-rock group named Tai Phong ("great wind" in Vietnamese), which released its first album in 1975. Their first song to be a moderate hit was called "Sister Jane." After four years and three albums sung in English with Tai Phong, however, he determined to go it alone and write and sing in French. In 1981, Marc Lumbroso discovered his recording "Il suffira d'un signe" on the album Dmod and signed him to a five-album contract with Epic. In 1982, his first hit album Minoritaire with the hit song "Quand la musique est bonne" was released, and from that time forward, all his albums have been eagerly awaited and well received: He also writes for other singers, notably Cline Dion, with whom he collaborated on D'eux (released in the US as The French Album), Johnny Hallyday, Patricia Kaas, Garou, Marc Lavoine, Khaled, Lorie, Florent Pagny... He is the author of the famous song "la chanson des restos" performed by les Enfoirs for the caritative association created by Coluche "Les restos du coeur". http://enpassant.jean-jacques-goldman.com/ Goldman, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Jean-Jacques
