Biography

Jean-Jacques Goldman (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ʒak ɡɔldman]; born 11 October 1951) is a French singer-songwriter and record producer whose work remains hugely popular in the French-speaking world. Since the death of Johnny Hallyday in 2017, he has been the highest-grossing living French pop rock act. Born in Paris and active in the French music scene from 1975, Goldman had a highly successful solo career in the 1980s. As part of the trio Fredericks Goldman Jones, he scored another string of hits in the 1990s. A founding member of the Les Enfoirés charity collective in 1986 (with which he remained active until 2016), Goldman also wrote successful albums and songs for many artists, including D'eux for Céline Dion, the most successful French-language recording to date. He received his most notable recognition in the English-speaking world with a 1997 Grammy Award for Album of the Year as co-author of three tracks on Céline Dion's album Falling into You. Despite his voluntary retirement from popular music in the early 2000s, Goldman remains highly appreciated and influential in France.
