Surprisingly maybe, Renaud, now 68, is one of the most popular French singers in France, among 3 generations of people.
He has composed 26 albums since 1975, of which 20 million units have been sold.
His songs are socially engaged, and his simple, unique look and way of life have made a symbol of him.
One of his greatest hits was the song Manhattan Kaboul which won a “Victoire de la Chanson”, the most important song prize in France.
It was written soon after the Twin Tower attacks in 2001 and the war in Afghanistan, for his duo with Belgian singer Axelle Red.
It talks about an American man native of Puerto Rico and an Afghan girl, who both died in the towers, where they worked. Here are lyrics in French = Popup anything on click
