Michel Armand Guy Pagliaro (born 9 November 1948)[1] is a Canadian rock singer, songwriter and guitarist from Montreal, Quebec.[2] Pagliaro was nominated for a 1975 Juno Award as male vocalist of the year. Although he writes and records predominantly in French, Pagliaro’s has reached international success mainly with material released in English.

Career

Pagliaro's first nationally English-charted hit was his 1970 single "Give Us One More Chance".[3] Other significant hits in English include "Lovin' You Ain't Easy" (1971) which reached Number 31 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1972, "Rainshowers" (1972), "Some Sing Some Dance" (1972), and "What The Hell I Got" (1975).[4] Pagliaro was the first Canadian artist to score top 40 hits on both the anglophone and francophone pop charts in Canada.[5]

Michel Pagliaro also produced[6] the first album of his son Roman's group, Les Fous de la Reine, which won both Musiqualité[7] and Diapason music contests in 2014. Their first two singles, La Guillotine and La face cachée de la neige were met with positive reception and played regularly on commercial radio stations, notably CKOI-FM.[8] He continued to perform.[9]

Awards

At the Juno Awards of 1975, Pagliaro was nominated for the Male Vocalist of the Year award.[10] Pagliaro received the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, Canada's highest honour in the performing arts, in 2008.[11] His song "J'entends frapper", a major hit in Quebec, was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2010.

In 2002, Pagliaro was the recipient of the National Achievement Award at the annual Francophone SOCAN Awards held in Montreal.[12]
