best_know_for: Marcel Mouloudji started as a street urchin and a street singer, and his long career always reflected those early beginnings. He was a real Paris sparrow, light and quick, agile, graceful and symbolic of a certain romanticism of the working-class city streets, with a style that was very pure, direct and heartfelt. Many called him the male Edith Piaf. French actor and singer-songwriter Mouloudji (1922-1994) was already a film star at the age of 16. Angelic and raven-curled, he appeared in one film after another, but he is now best remembered for his politically engaged songs, among which Boris Vian's masterpiece Le Déserteur. He was a free and libertarian artist who explored cinema, theatre, painting, writing and of course music. Fans can visit the grave of Marcel Mouloudji at Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise in Paris, France
