Jacques Douai
Born on December 11, 1920 in Douai (France), of his real name Gaston Tanchon, and died on August 7, 2004 in Paris (France), Jacques Douai was a French singer. He began his career in Paris, in 1947, at the cabaret Chez Pomme, where he sang accompanying himself on guitar. That same year, he was the first male performer of Prévert and Kosma's song " Les Feuilles mortes ". The onset of tuberculosis forced him to take a break from the stage from 1951 to 1954. He returned in 1955, releasing the album Chansons Poétiques Anciennes Et Modernes. This album won him the Prix de l'Académie Charles-Cros. Jacques Douai also won this prize in 1962 and 1968. In 1957, he received the Rose d'or de la chanson. He went on to present several albums in the 1960s and 1970s, including some for children. In 1960, he created and hosted the Ballet national populaire de danses françaises, then the Théâtre populaire de la chanson. In 1974, he was awarded the Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris, and in 1977, the Grand Prix de l'Académie du disque français. Among his greatest career hits are " Colchiques dans les prés " and " File la Laine ". In 2007, Jacques Bertin created the Prix Jacques-Douai, awarded each year to a person or organization who, through their artistic work or action, keeps alive the French-language chanson, repertoire and ideals that Jacques Douai championed throughout his life.
