Emerging out of the Parisian garage rock scene of the early 1960s, Jacques Dutronc found some early success writing songs for future wife Françoise Hardy before putting his own stamp on French rock & roll in the latter part of the decade. With his smart, provocative lyrics and rebellious spirit, Dutronc rose to stardom with hits like "Et moi, et moi, et moi," Les play boys," and 1968's "Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille," a French pop classic widely considered to be his crowning achievement. He spent the bulk of the '70s pursuing a similarly successful career as a film actor, then returned to album-making with 1980's Guerre et pets which he co-wrote with Serge Gainsbourg. A César Award for his 1991 portrayal of Vincent Van Gogh marked a new peak in Dutronc's acting career and he also made a pair of strong musical comebacks, first with 1995's Brèves rencontres and later with 2003's critically acclaimed Madame l'existence.
