Biography

Léo Ferré (1916-1993) is a revered figure in French chanson, known for songs like "Avec le Temps" and "Les Anarchistes." Born in Monaco, he alternated between France and Italy, with a career spanning cabaret, songwriting, and conducting. Ferré's peak popularity was in the 60s and early 70s, embraced by the May 68 generation for his anarchist image.

Ferré's career took off after World War II, with support from icons like Edith Piaf and Charles Trenet. His second wife, Madeleine Rabereau, played a pivotal role in his artistic development. In the late 50s and 60s, he explored social commentary in his lyrics, becoming associated with the Anarchist movement. Despite a later shift towards classical music, Ferré's legacy as a multifaceted artist endures, with "Avec le Temps" remaining his signature song.
