The
songs of Félix Leclerc (1914-1988), one of Quebec’s
great singer-songwriters, writers and poets, are a part of the province’s
repertory of popular music. Acclaimed in France in the early ’50s,
Leclerc won the recording award from the Charles-Cros Academy of
Paris in 1951, 1958 and 1973. His songs and writings tell of things
he knew well: love, nature, land and man. Entitled "Debout,"
this bronze statue was created in 1990 by Roger Langevin.
