'''Jacques Dutronc''' ({{IPA|fr|ʒak dytʁɔ̃}}; born 28 April 1943) is a French singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, and actor. Some of Dutronc's best-known hits include "[[Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille]]" (which [[AllMusic]] has called "his finest hour"),<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[All Music Guide]]|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r808175|pure_url=yes}} |title=Jacques Dutronc (Il Est Cinq Heures, Paris S'Éveille)|first=Quint|last=Kik|access-date=14 September 2011}}</ref> "Le Responsable",<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[All Music Guide]]|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r562331|pure_url=yes}}|title=Dutronc|access-date=14 September 2011|first=John|last=Bush}}</ref> and "[[Les Cactus]]".

Dutronc played guitar in the [[French rock|rock]] group El Toro et les Cyclones. He wrote successful songs for singer [[Françoise Hardy]] in the 1960s before moving on to pursue a successful solo career. His music incorporated traditional [[French pop]] and [[French rock]] as well as styles such as [[Psychedelic rock|psychedelic]] and [[garage rock]]. He was also very important in the ''[[Yé-yé|yéyé]]'' music movement and has been a longtime songwriting collaborator with [[Jacques Lanzmann]]. According to AllMusic, Dutronc is "one of the most popular performers in the French-speaking world",<ref name=amg>{{cite web|publisher=[[All Music Guide]]|first=Yuri|last=German|url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p204824/biography|pure_url=yes}}|title=Jacques Dutronc|access-date=14 September 2011}}</ref> although he "remains little known in English speaking territories" aside from a [[cult following]] in the UK.<ref name=et-moi>{{cite web|first=Mark|last=Deming|publisher=[[All Music Guide]]|title=Et Moi et Moi et Moi: Jacques Dutronc 1966–69|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r1575301|pure_url=yes}}|access-date=14 September 2011}}</ref>

Dutronc later branched out into film acting, starting in 1973.<ref name=amg/> He earned a [[César Award]] for [[César Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] for the leading role in ''[[Van Gogh (1991 film)|Van Gogh]]'' (1991), which was directed by [[Maurice Pialat]].<ref name=critic>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmcritic.com/reviews/1991/van-gogh/|first=Christopher|title=Van Gogh|last=Null|date=29 December 2006|publisher=[[AMC Network]]|access-date=14 September 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120406111050/http://www.filmcritic.com/reviews/1991/van-gogh/|archive-date=6 April 2012}}</ref> He married Hardy in 1981 and together they have a son, guitarist [[Thomas Dutronc]] (born 1973); the couple separated in 1988, but never divorced.

==Early life==
Jacques Dutronc was born on 28 April 1943 at 67 Rue de Provence in the [[9th arrondissement of Paris]], the home of his parents, Pierre and Madeleine. His father was a manager for the state-run Office of Coal Distribution. Jacques was educated at Rocroy-Saint-Léon elementary school (now a [[lycée]]), the {{ill|École de la Rue Blanche|fr|École nationale supérieure des arts et techniques du théâtre}} (now a drama school), and then at the École Professionnelle de Dessin Industriel, where he studied graphic design from 1959.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|pp=36–52}}

==Career ==
===1960s===
[[File:Fanclub1966JacquesDutronc.jpg|thumb|left|Dutronc performing on Dutch TV in 1966|alt=Jacques Dutronc with a guitar on a 1966 television broadcast]]
In 1960, Dutronc formed a band with himself as guitarist, schoolfriend Hadi Kalafate as bassist, Charlot Bénaroch as drummer (later replaced with André Crudot), and Daniel Dray as singer. They auditioned in 1961 for Jacques Wolfsohn, an artistic director at [[Disques Vogue]], who signed them and gave them the name El Toro et les Cyclones.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|p=68}} The group released two singles, "L'Oncle John" and "Le Vagabond", but disbanded when Dutronc was obliged to undertake military service.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|p=76}}

After being discharged from the army in 1963, Dutronc briefly played guitar in [[Eddy Mitchell]]'s backing band and was also given a job at Vogue as Jacques Wolfsohn's assistant.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|pp=81–82}} In this capacity, he co-wrote songs for artists such as [[Zouzou (model)|ZouZou]], Cléo, and [[Françoise Hardy]].

Wolfsohn asked Dutronc to work with [[Jacques Lanzmann]], a novelist and editor of ''[[Lui]]'' magazine, to create songs for a [[beatnik]] singer called Benjamin. Benjamin released an EP in 1966, featuring songs written with Dutronc and a Lanzmann–Dutronc composition, "Cheveux longs" ("Long Hair").<ref>{{cite web|title=Benjamin – Mon Ami D'autrefois|year=1966|url=http://www.discogs.com/Benjamin-Mon-Ami-Dautrefois/release/4454389|publisher=Discogs}}</ref> However, Wolfsohn was disappointed by Benjamin's recording of a song titled "[[Et moi, et moi, et moi]]". A second version was recorded, with Dutronc's former bandmate Hadi Kalafate on vocals. Wolfsohn then asked Dutronc if he would be interested in recording his own version.<ref name=Figaro>{{cite news|last=Neuhoff|first=Eric|title=Et moi, et moi, et moi de Jacques Dutronc: La France en chanson|url=http://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2011/07/15/03006-20110715ARTFIG00603--et-moi-et-moi-et-moi-de-jacques-dutronc.php|newspaper=Le Figaro|date=18 July 2011}}</ref> The single reached number 2 in the French charts in September 1966.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hits of the World|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA44|newspaper=Billboard|date=17 September 1966|page=44}}</ref>

Cultural historian [[Larry Portis]] describes the arrival of Dutronc on the French music scene, along with that of [[Michel Polnareff]] at around the same time, as representing "the first French rock music that can be considered a musically competent and non-imitative incorporation of African-American and African-American-British influences". For Portis, Dutronc marks a break with the literary tradition of French ''[[Nouvelle Chanson|chanson]]'' in his creative use of the sounds, rather than just the syntax, of the language.<ref>{{cite book|last=Portis|first=Larry|title=French Frenzies: A Social History of Pop Music in France|year=2004|publisher=Virtualbookworm|location=College Station, TX|page=147}}</ref>

Dutronc's [[Jacques Dutronc (1966 album)|self-titled debut album]], released at the end of 1966, sold over a million copies and was awarded a special [[Grand Prix du Disque for French Song#1967|Grand Prix du Disque]] by the [[Académie Charles Cros]], in memoriam of one of its founders.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jacques Dutronc biography|url=http://rfimusique.com/siteEn/biographie/biographie_6268.asp|publisher=RFI Music|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140110001442/http://rfimusique.com/siteEn/biographie/biographie_6268.asp|archive-date=10 January 2014}}</ref> A second single, "[[Les play boys]]", spent six weeks at number one and sold 600,000 copies.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hits of the World|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CSkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA39|newspaper=Billboard|date=7 January 1967|page=39}}</ref>

Dutronc was one of the most commercially successful French music stars of the late 1960s and early 1970s. During that period, he released seven hit albums and more than 20 singles, including two further number ones: "[[J'aime les filles]]" in 1967 and "[[Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille]]" in 1968.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hits of the World|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rwoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA53|newspaper=Billboard|date=27 April 1968|page=53}}</ref>

According to music critic Mark Deming: "Dutronc's early hits were rough but clever exercises in European garage rock ... like Dutronc's role models [[Bob Dylan]] and [[Ray Davies]], he could write melodies strong enough to work even without their excellent lyrics, and his band had more than enough energy to make them fly (and the imagination to move with the musical times as psychedelia and hard rock entered the picture at the end of the decade)".<ref name=et-moi/>

===1970s===
[[File:Dutronc annecy 1971.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Dutronc performing in [[Annecy]] in 1971. Also pictured is bassist Noël Mirol.|alt=Jacques Dutronc on stage in 1971 with bassist Noël Mirol]]

Most of Dutronc's songs up to 1975 were written with Jacques Lanzmann, with only two written solely by Dutronc. Lanzmann's wife Anne Ségalen is also credited on some songs. Dutronc wrote three songs with comic-book writer [[Fred (comics)|Fred]], whose stories he also narrated for commercial release in 1970. Two songs were written in 1971 by Lanzmann, Franck Harvel, and composer Jean-Pierre Bourtayre for a TV adaptation of ''[[Arsène Lupin (TV series)|Arsène Lupin]]''. Co-writing credits on Dutronc's self-titled 1975 album are split between Lanzmann, [[Serge Gainsbourg]], and [[Jean-Loup Dabadie]].

In 1973, {{lang|fr|"Et moi, et moi, et moi"}} was adapted with English lyrics as "Alright Alright Alright" and became a UK No. 3 hit for the group [[Mungo Jerry]].

Also in 1973, Dutronc began a second career as an actor in the film {{lang|fr|Antoine et Sébastien}}, directed by [[Jean-Marie Périer]]. Dutronc's second film, ''[[That Most Important Thing: Love]]'', directed by [[Andrzej Żuławski]], was a major box-office hit in France. In the following years, Dutronc devoted most of his energies toward his acting career, appearing in films directed by [[Jean-Luc Godard]], [[Claude Lelouch]], and [[Maurice Pialat]]. In 1977, he was nominated for the [[César Award]] for Best Supporting Actor for his role in [[Claude Sautet]]'s ''Mado''.<ref>{{cite web|title=César Awards, France (1977)|url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000157/1977|publisher=IMDb}}</ref>

[[Steven Spielberg]] reportedly considered Dutronc to be the best French actor of his generation, and had the role of [[List of characters in the Indiana Jones series#René Belloq|René Belloq]] in ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' written with him in mind. Dutronc was not given the role, however, because it transpired that his English was not adequate.<ref>{{cite book|last=Smith|first=Jim|title=George Lucas|year=2003|publisher=Virgin Books|location=London|page=120|isbn=978-0-7535-0755-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Le Plus Drôle du Cinéma|year=2013|publisher=Le Cherche Midi|location=Paris|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FqlA3P3LROEC&pg=PT15}}</ref>

===1980s===
In 1980, Dutronc began work on a new album under the direction of Jacques Wolfsohn, now an executive at {{Interlanguage link|Gaumont Musique|pt}}. Wolfsohn proposed that Dutronc write with both Jacques Lanzmann and Serge Gainsbourg. During recording, Wolfsohn proposed to Lanzmann and Gainsbourg that they each work on alternative lyrics to go with one of Dutronc's instrumental demos. Lanzmann objected to being placed in competition against another writer and dropped out of the project.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|p=185}} The resulting album, ''Guerre et pets'' ("War and Farts" – a play on the title of [[War and Peace|Tolstoy's novel]]), consequently includes only two Lanzmann–Dutronc compositions and is mainly written by Dutronc and Gainsbourg. The album's lead single, "L'hymne à l'amour", received little airplay because its lyric consists primarily of racial epithets (the opening line, roughly translated, is "gook, wog, towel-head, yid"), and the album was only a moderate commercial success. The follow-up, 1982's ''C'est pas du bronze'', was written with Anne Ségalen, by now divorced from Jacques Lanzmann, and was released to a frosty critical reception.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|p=187}}

Dutronc's acting career continued during the 1980s, and he appeared in films such as ''[[Malevil]]'' and [[Barbet Schroeder]]'s ''[[Cheaters (1984 film)|Cheaters]]'' (''Tricheurs''). In 1987, he released a further album, ''C.Q.F.Dutronc''. Most of the songs were written by Dutronc without a partner, although he collaborated with [[Étienne Daho]] on one track and with Jean-François Bernardini of the Corsican folk group [[I Muvrini]] on another.

===1990s===
In 1992, Dutronc was awarded the [[César Award|César]] for [[César Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] for the title role in [[Maurice Pialat]]'s biographical film ''[[Van Gogh (1991 film)|Van Gogh]]''. Critic Christopher Null commented that Dutronc "manages to embody the obvious manic depression from Van Gogh's later years, all exuding from his scraggly face, sunken eyes, and bony frame... the searing Dutronc is the real reason to sit through the film".<ref name=critic/>

In November 1992, Dutronc played three comeback concerts at the [[Casino de Paris]], highlights from which were released as a film directed by [[Jean-Marie Périer]] and as a live album, ''Dutronc au Casino''. At around this time, Dutronc began work on a new studio album, ''Brèves rencontres'', but work progressed slowly and it was not released until 1995.{{sfn|Leydier|2010|p=242}}

During the 1990s, Dutronc appeared in two films by [[Patrick Grandperret]] and was nominated for a César Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1999, for his role in [[Nicole Garcia]]'s ''[[Place Vendôme (film)|Place Vendôme]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=César Awards, France (1999)|url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000157/1999|publisher=IMDb}}</ref>

Dutronc starred in [[Claude Chabrol]]'s 2000 film ''[[Merci pour le chocolat]]''. He was awarded the Best Actor prize at the 2001 [[Marrakech International Film Festival]] and was nominated for the César Award for Best Actor for his performance in [[Jean-Pierre Améris]]' ''C'est la vie''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Edition 2001: Palmarès|url=http://www.festivalmarrakech.info/Palmares_a37.html|publisher=Festival International du Film de Marrakech|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120042904/http://www.festivalmarrakech.info/Palmares_a37.html|archive-date=20 January 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=César Awards, France (2002)|url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000157/2002|publisher=IMDb}}</ref> In 2002, he starred in [[Michel Blanc]]'s ''[[Summer Things]]''.

In 2003, Dutronc reunited with Jacques Lanzmann for ''Madame l'existence'', an album described by rock critic Christophe Conte as "surpassing, without much apparent effort, everything that [Dutronc] has created in the last two decades".<ref>{{cite news|last=Conte|first=Christophe|title=Jacques Dutronc – Madame l'Existence|url=http://www.lesinrocks.com/musique/critique-album/madame-lexistence/|newspaper=Les Inrockuptibles|date=30 April 2003}}</ref>

In 2005, Dutronc was awarded an [[Honorary César]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Tautou film tops Cesar prize nods|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4204697.stm|publisher=BBC News|date=25 January 2005}}</ref> Since then, he has appeared in films by directors including [[Gabriel Aghion]] and [[Alain Corneau]].

In 2010, Dutronc toured for the first time in 17 years, and released recordings from the tour as a live album and DVD, ''Et vous, et vous, et vous''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jacques Dutronc – Et Vous, et Vous, et Vous|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/et-vous-et-vous-et-vous-mw0002080448|publisher=AllMusic}}</ref>

Dutronc's 41st film, ''Les Francis'', was released in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=Les Francis|url=http://www.marsfilms.com/pro/film/show/les_francis|publisher=Mars Distribution|access-date=22 January 2014|archive-date=22 January 2014|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140122153604/http://www.marsfilms.com/pro/film/show/les_francis|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In November 2014, Dutronc performed a series of concerts with [[Eddy Mitchell]] and [[Johnny Hallyday]] at [[Paris Bercy]], under the name "Les vieilles canailles" ("The Old Gits"). It was reported that, following these performances, Dutronc intended to begin recording a new album with his son Thomas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/actualite/news-91560.html|title=Johnny Hallyday, Jacques Dutronc & Eddy Mitchell à Paris-Bercy les 5, 6 et 7 novembre 2014|publisher=Chartsinfrance.net|date=14 April 2014|access-date=29 June 2014}}</ref> Said album, ''Dutronc and Dutronc'', was released on 4 November 2022 and features 13 songs originally released by Jacques Dutronc during his early career. Father and son rearranged the songs and both sing on the album.

==Reputation and influence==
According to a 1979 editorial in the French magazine ''[[Rock & Folk]]'', Dutronc is "the one singer who is so closely identified with [[1960s#Popular culture|the 1960s]] that it has become impossible to talk about them without talking about him".{{sfn|Leydier|2010|p=184}} In 1991, "[[Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille]]" was voted the best French-language single of all time in a poll of music critics organised by ''[[Le Nouvel Observateur]]'' for a TV special broadcast on [[France 2|Antenne 2]], beating [[Jacques Brel]]'s "[[Ne me quitte pas]]" into second place.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jacques DUTRONC vainqueur des 45 tours|url=http://www.ina.fr/video/I05297087/jacques-dutronc-vainqueur-des-45-tours-video.html|publisher=Institut National de l'Audiovisuel}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Best title|url=http://archives.lesoir.be/meilleur-titre_t-19910202-Z03KVZ.html|newspaper=Le Soir|date=2 February 1991|page=28}}</ref>
