Jean-Jacques Goldman (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃.ʒak ɡɔldman]; born 11 October 1951) is a French retired singer-songwriter and record producer whose work remains hugely popular in the French-speaking world.[1] Since the death of Johnny Hallyday in 2017 he has been the highest grossing living French pop rock act. Born in Paris and active on the music scene from 1975, he had a highly successful solo career in the 1980s, before he was part of the trio Fredericks Goldman Jones, releasing another string of hits in the 1990s.
A founding member of the Les Enfoirés charity collective in 1986 (with which he remained active until 2016), Goldman also wrote successful albums and songs for many artists, including D'eux for Céline Dion, which is the most successful French language record to date.[2] He received his most notable recognition in the English-speaking world for winning a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1997, as a co-author of three tracks on Céline Dion's Falling into You. Despite a voluntary retirement from the music scene in the early 2000s, he remains highly appreciated and influential in France.[3][4][5][6]
