Pierre Perret (born 9 July 1934 in Castelsarrasin, Tarn-et-Garonne) is a French singer and composer. Pierre Perret resides in the city of Nangis. == Biography == He spent a long part of his childhood in the café which his parents owned, where he learned to work with jargon and slang. At the age of 14 he signed up to the ''conservatoire de musique de Toulouse'' and to a dramatic arts institute. But he wasn't admitted to the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris because he had some problems with military justice during his military service.〔''Sax, Mule & Co'', Jean-Pierre Thiollet, H & D, Paris, 2004, p. 56-57. ISBN 2 914 266 03 0〕 In the mean time, he set up his first band of four musicians in his own name, with whom he played at events throughout the region. In 1957, he was snapped up by Eddie Barclay who signed him on. It was in the studio of Barclay where he met his future wife, Simone Mazaltarim. In 1958, Perret carried on touring round Parisian cabaret bars and crossed France and Africa as a part of the American group, The Platters. In November that year, a pleurisy forced him to take two years off in a sanatorium. A master of the subtleties of the French language and French slang (he even rewrote some of Jean de La Fontaine's fables), his songs are often cheeky (for example ''Le zizi'' (''The willy'')), asking questions in a seemingly naive child's tone, but has written more serious political songs, such as ''La bête est revenue'', ''La petite kurde'', ''Vert de Colère'' ou ''Lily''. He participated in the committee for the simplification of the administrative language (COSLA). 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「Pierre Perret」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
