"Since You Leave," "Over There," "Like You," "Take Me Away," "Life by Proxy," "I Give You," as well as "I Walk Alone" and "The Violins Play" — it’s impossible to list all of Jean-Jacques Goldman's hits. Having stepped back from the public eye several years ago, the French singer-songwriter remains omnipresent in the music scene. He still holds the top spot in the ranking of most-loved French celebrities.
Throughout the summer of 2025, several French-speaking artists gathered at the Vieux-Port Agora in Quebec to honor the 50-year career of Jean-Jacques Goldman. A recorded concert, which France 2 is set to broadcast, will be available for viewers to watch this Tuesday, March 24, 2026, starting at 9:10 p.m. During this special musical event, titled "The Francophonie Grand Concert Celebrating Jean-Jacques Goldman", his timeless hits were reinterpreted "against a spectacular natural backdrop, by the shoreline of the Saint Lawrence River and under the Canadian stars," according to the press release.
So, who made up this star-studded lineup? Who was invited to pay tribute to Jean-Jacques Goldman at this special concert? On March 24th, on France 2, get ready to hear renowned voices from the Francophone scene, including Daniel Lavoie, Roch Voisine, Louis-Jean Cormier, Patrick Fiori, Mentissa, Michel Fugain, Pierre Lapointe, Magic System, Dadju, Bénabar, and Natasha St-Pier. Together, they will deliver reimagined performances, surprise collaborations, and classic hits sung in chorus… all set during an evening hosted by Garou and Cyril Féraud.
