Pierre Perret (born 9 July 1934 in Castelsarrasin, Tarn-et-Garonne) is a French singer and composer. He lives in Nangis, France.
Biography
Perret spent much of his childhood in a café which his parents owned, where he learned to use jargon and slang.
At the age of 14 he signed with the conservatoire de musique de Toulouse and to a dramatic arts institute. But he was not admitted to the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris because he had experienced disciplinary problems administered by military justice during military service. In the meantime, he set up his first band of four musicians in his own name; they performed at events throughout the region. In 1957, he was snapped up by Eddie Barclay, a producer who signed him. He met his future wife, Simone Mazaltarim at Barclay's studio.
In 1958, Perret continued to tour Parisian cabaret bars crossing France and Africa as a part of the American group, The Platters. In November of that year, a pleurisy forced him to take two years off recuperating in a sanatorium.
A master of the subtleties of the French language and French slang (he even rewrote some of Jean de La Fontaine's fables), Perret's songs are often cheeky (for example Le zizi (The willy). They occasionally ask questions in a seemingly naive child's tone, but he has written more serious political songs like La bête est revenue, La petite kurde, Vert de Colère or Lily.
In 1995, Perret recorded a duet with Sophie Darel; they sang the French song Maître Pierre for the album C'était les Années Bleues. He participated in the committee for the simplification of the administrative language (COSLA).
