Robert Charlebois, OC, OQ (born June 25, 1944) is a Francophone Canadian author, composer, musician, performer and actor. He is an important figure in French music. Charlebois was born in Montreal, Quebec. Among his best known songs are ''Lindberg'' and ''Je reviendrai à Montréal''. His lyrics, often written in joual, are funny, relying upon plays on words. He won the Sopot International Song Festival in 1970. In 1970 he sang with Italian singer Patty Pravo the Italian song ''La solitudine''. In the same year, he performed at the Festival Express train tour in Canada, but did not appear on the documentary film. He co-starred with Terence Hill, Miou-Miou and Patrick McGoohan in the western ''Un genio, due compari, un pollo'' (''A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe'', 1975) as Steamengine Bill. Thirty-eight years later, Charlebois had a cameo as Jean-Seb Bigstone, the French-Canadian Broadway producer, in the 2012 Gad Elmaleh/Sophie Marceau film ''Happiness Never Comes Alone''. The Quebec-based microbrewery Unibroue was owned, in part, by Charlebois until it was purchased by Sleeman Breweries in 2004 which in turn was bought by Japanese beer brewing giant Sapporo in 2006. ==Honors== *In 1994, Charlebois received a Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement for his contribution to music in Canada. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ggpaa.ca/award-recipients/new-document/charlebois-robert.aspx )〕 *In 1999, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada.〔http://www.gg.ca/honours/search-recherche/honours-desc.asp?lang=e&TypeID=orc&id=4595〕 In 2008, he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec. *Charlebois was one of the four musicians who were pictured on the second series of the Canadian Recording Artist Series issued by Canada Post stamps on July 2, 2009.〔Canada Post Stamp Details, July to September 2009, Volume XVIII, No. 3, p. 6〕 *On June 21, 2010, Charlebois received an honorary doctorate 〔http://archives.concordia.ca/charlebois Concordia University Records Management and Archives〕 from Concordia University in Montreal.
