Robert Charlebois

Artist: Robert Charlebois
LP: Charlebois
Song: "Je Rêve à Rio"
[ listen ]

Last Thursday evening I had a few minutes to spare after I found parking and before meeting a friend at The Lobby Bar on Capitol Hill, so I popped over to EverDay Music to find this colorful 1974 LP by Québéois singer Robert Charlebois. Born in Montréal in 1944, Charlebois was one of the recording artists to be featured on a Canadian postage stamp in the summer of 2009. You can read about Robert Charlebois here, if you understand French you can find even more info on his website here, and a video for one of Charlebois' most popular songs is included here:
