Lucien Boyer, (1876-1942) was a Paris music hall singer. He first won popularity singing to soldiers at the front during World War I. His fame as a writer and singer spread throughout the world from the Montmartre district of Paris, where he held sway. He was author of more than 1,000 songs and 39 musical comedies and operettas. Among his best known songs were ''Valencia'', ''Cu C'est Paris'', ''La Femme ou Matelot'' and ''Mon Paris''. When he came to America in 1921, it was for the purpose of acquiring American songs to be adapted for the public in France that liked "le Jazz." When he returned to France, he was crowned king of Montmartre. Though Boyer was not the author of the famous French song ''Madelon'', as was generally believed, Boyer popularized the song during World War I and all France marched to it.〔Billboard June 27, 1942〕 ==Published works== * Lucien Boyer ''Le Gondolier de Montmartre'', collection of poetry, Paris, éditions du vieux moulin, 1926 * Lucien Boyer ''Paysages de France'', Paris, société des publications modernes, 1931 * Lucien Boyer ''Qu'il était beau mon village'', novel, Paris, éditions Baudinière, 1935 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucien Boyer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
