Marc-François Bernier - Jean-Pierre Ferland, Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin (Book)

The life, work and era of a major figure in Quebec song. This is the story of a man who expected an ordinary life but became a musical link between tradition and modernity. It offers an intimate view of the child he was and the sensitive adult who found his voice: a portrait of a “petit roi” painted through Jaune and Bleu blanc blues. With warmth, innocence and depth, Jean-Pierre Ferland sang of life's highs and lows, brief romances and lasting love. Exuberant performer, seductive poet, prolific artist and introspective dreamer, he always reflected his times. This book tells the story of a modern hero who overcame hardship, trials and rivalries while continually reinventing himself.
