Henri Salvador was a velvet-voiced French musician credited with inspiring the bossa nova, recording the first french rock 'n' roll single and helping create the music video. Known for his booming laughter, raucous sense of humor, silken singing, and incredible staying power, he worked past his 90th birthday and had plans to record another album when he died suddenly at his home due to a burst aneurysm.
