He is known for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries, clerical celibacy and colonialism. Another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs ("Les Ricains," for example) is respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the United States. Another notable fact about his career is that he has focused his full attention on his homeland, ignoring the prospect of an international audience, although his 1981 single "Les lacs du Connemara" did manage to become a big international hit. A number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with Jacques Revaux, a few others (most notably "En chantant") with Italian singer Toto Cutugno.
Even in the 21st century, Michel Sardou remains immensely popular in France, selling out 18 consecutive dates at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 2001, while his 2004 album "Du plaisir" went straight to the no. 1 spot on the French album charts.
He has been married three times, first to a French dancer, then to Babette (the mother of his children) and lastly to an lifelong friend who edits the French version of Vogue.

La Vieille
Michel Sardou Lyrics
Elle a des cerises sur son chapeau, la vieille.
Elle se fait croire que c'est l'été.
Au soleil, on s'sent rassuré.
Il paraît qu'la dame à la faux,
C'est l'hiver qu'elle fait son boulot.
C'est pas qu'elle tienne tant à la vie
Mais les vieilles ça a des manies,
Ça aime son fauteuil et son lit,
Même si le monde s'arrête ici.
Elle a la tête comme un placard, la vieille,
Et des souvenirs bien rangés,
Comme ses draps, ses taies d'oreillers.
Son tout premier carnet de bal,
Du temps où la valse, c'était mal,
Un petit morceau de voile blanc,
Du temps où l'on s'mariait enfant,
De son feu héros, une croix de guerre
De l'avant-dernière dernière guerre.
Elle a des cerises sur son chapeau, la vieille.
Elle se fait croire que c'est l'été.
Elle ne fait plus partie du temps.
Elle a cent ans, elle a mille ans.
Elle est pliée, elle est froissée
Comme un journal du temps passé.
Elle a sa famille en photos, la vieille.
Sur le buffet, ils sont en rangs
Et ça sourit de toutes ses dents.
Y a les p'tits enfants des enfants
Et les enfants des p'tits enfants.
Y a ceux qui viendraient bien des fois
Mais qui n'ont pas d'auto pour ça,
Ceux qui ont pas l'temps, qu'habitent pas là,
Puis y a les autres qui n'y pensent pas.
Elle a des cerises sur son chapeau, la vieille.
Elle veut s'faire croire que c'est l'été.
Elle a des cerises sur son chapeau, la vieille.
Elle se fait croire que c'est l'été.

c'est tellement vrai, toujours aussi vrai, quand on a perdu "la vieille" on comprend mieux cette chanson et l'on regrette les moments que l'on aurait pu partager avec moins d’égoïsme de notre part..simplement en prenant la voiture et un peu de temps!!Un jours ce sera notre tour d'avoir cet isolement...merci pour le partage
Mumu
OK avec toi 😭😭😭😭

Une chanson de fin de vie ,sa doit la couper à tout ces détracteurs ceux qui l'on traité de rėac où autres conneries. Non Un humain tout simplement qui chante ses humeurs est ses coups de sangs, mais avec TALENT est une voix extraordinaire chapeau l'artiste

Je suis trop content de ré-entendre cette chanson , la derniere fois c'etait il y a plus de 40 ans, toute une époque dans la mélodie
rvcomte69
Michel a toujours su aborder tous les sujets. Grand talent d'auteur ou co-auteur. Et avec une voix aussi exceptionnelle, toutes ses chansons prennent une dimension fantastique. Il est unique.
