Happy 70th Birthday Robert Charlebois


Robert Charlebois was born on June 25, 1944 in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Robert is a Quebec author, composer, musician, performer and actor. 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 “The Genius” (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”.
 
Today we celebrate Robert Charlebois’ 70th birthday
