1. 1. Jacques Brel

   

   A concise, richly researched biography that traces the rise of a fiercely passionate Belgian singer-songwriter from provincial beginnings to international fame, exploring his intense stagecraft, lyrical preoccupations with love, mortality and exile, his complex personality and relationships, the reasons behind his withdrawal from performing, and the enduring influence his songs had on chanson and popular music worldwide.
