Leclerc, Félix |
 | | In 1941 Leclerc joined the CBC in Montreal as a scriptwriter, and several of his series were extremely popular, including 'Je me souviens,' for which Hector Gratton composed the incidental music, and 'Théâtre dans ma guitare'. |
 | | Leclerc's singular qualities had a revitalizing effect on the chanson in France and are said to have provided a catalyst for the careers of Georges Brassens, Guy Béart, Jacques Brel and others. |
 | | His career later obliged him to spend long periods of time in Europe, but he frequently appeared in Canada; of special note were his western tour in 1965 and his appearances at Montreal's Le Patriote in 1966, 1970, 1972, 1975, and 1976 and at the NAC in 1971. |
