With the death of Paul Tourenne, the last of the Jacques Brothers, a page closes on one of our greatest vocal quartets of the post-war period.
Their original creations, the quality of their interpretation of great French poets such as Jacques Prévert and their facetious productions have brought the best of the song.
Thanks to them, we will remember that it was already raining at the Saint-Médard while regretting not being electrified by "the little end of the cat’s tail".
They are our heritage, a source of inspiration for many artists and will remain alive for future generations through their recordings.
Audrey Azoulay, Minister of Culture and Communication, extends her sincere condolences to her family and loved ones.
