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.

Les Lacs Du Connemara
Michel Sardou Lyrics
Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierres
Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara
Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor du Connemara
Au printemps suivant, le ciel irlandais était en paix
Maureen a plongé nue dans un lac du Connemara
Sean Kelly s'est dit 'je suis catholique', Maureen aussi
L'église en granit de Limerick, Maureen a dit oui
De Tipperary, Barry-Connely et de Galway
Ils sont arrivés dans le comté du Connemara
Y avait les Connors, les O'Connolly, les Flaherty du Ring of Kerry
Et de quoi boire trois jours et deux nuits
Là-bas au Connemara
On sait tout le prix du silence
Là-bas au Connemara
On dit que la vie, c'est une folie
Et que la folie, ça se danse
Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierres
Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara
Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor du Connemara
On y vit encore au temps des Gaëls et de Cromwell
Au rythme des pluies et du soleil
Aux pas des chevaux
On y croit encore aux monstres des lacs
Qu'on voit nager certains soirs d'été
Et replonger pour l'éternité
On y voit encore
Des hommes d'ailleurs venus chercher
Le repos de l'âme et pour le cœur, un goût de meilleur
L'on y croit encore
Que le jour viendra, il est tout près
Où les Irlandais feront la paix autour de la Croix
Là-bas au Connemara
On sait tout le prix de la guerre
Là-bas au Connemara
On n'accepte pas
La paix des Gallois
Ni celle des rois d'Angleterre

I love the momentum in the song. What power between orchestra and his voice... truly a team work effort... Music in earthly terms made for Heaven... it is beautiful... Thank you Michel

Sardou is a true French 'artiste'... sings about politics and has a musical longevity and productivity that Paul McCartney would envy. Love this guy since I was a kid.
