About Daniel Balavoine
- Daniel Balavoine (5 February 1952 – 14 January 1986) was a French singer and songwriter.
- He was hugely popular in the French-speaking world, and inspired many singers in the 1980s, such as Jean-Jacques Goldman, Michel Berger, his closest friend, or the Japanese pop-rock group Crystal King; he was also a part of the original cast of the rock opera Starmania in 1978, which was written by Berger.
- He took part in French political life and is known for a 1980 televised verbal confrontation with then presidential candidate François Mitterrand. In the French music-business, Balavoine earned his own place with his powerful voice, his wide range, and his lyrics, which were full of sadness and revolt.
- He was emphatic, and his songs for the most part talked about despair, pain, and death, although hope was present as a theme as well.
- He sold more than 20 million records during his career.
