Singer-songwriter C. Jérôme epitomises the golden age of blissful French pop. The chanteur rose to prominence on the swinging Paris music scene of the early '70s with perfect concoctions like “Kiss Me” and “Baby Boy”. His gentle, melodic voice and taste for dramatic production—featuring alternately orchestral strings and blues rock rhythms—pioneered a brand of distinctly Gallic, radio-friendly pop. His career had a renaissance in the late '80s with a string of successful albums cementing his place as an icon of French music.
