Georges Charles Brassens was a French singer-songwriter and poet, considered one of France's most accomplished postwar poets. He achieved fame through elegant songs, characterised by harmonically complex music for voice and guitar and by articulate and diverse lyrics. He also set to music poems by both relatively obscure poets and well-known ones, among them Louis Aragon (Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux), Victor Hugo (La Légende de la Nonne and Gastibelza), Paul Verlaine, Jean Richepin, François Villon (La Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis) and Antoine Pol (Les Passantes).
