Louis Chédid struggled long and hard to achieve recognition on the French music scene - indeed, the singer had to put out 7 albums before he finally hit the big time in 1978! Since then, Chédid has more than made up for his late start, however, and today the singer's incisive lyrics and musical talent make him one of the most respected figures in the French music world. Chédid has been hailed as a modest contemporary 'poet' whose hard-hitting, and often humorous, lyrics describe the troubles of modern-day society.
