Following the announcement of the death of the composer Charles Dumont, the senator from Lot wanted to pay him a warm tribute.
“It is with sadness that I learned the news of the death of Charles Dumont, taken away by illness at the age of 95” writes the senator of Lot, Jean-Marc Vayssouze-Faure. “Author, performer, composer of countless melodies anchored in the memory of French people, he is an artist of genius who is leaving us. His 60-year career, marked by a long collaboration with Édith PIAF and many other greats names of French and international song, however, never made him forget Cahors, his hometown to which he remained deeply attached.
“I have fond memories of our meetings in the city where he still owned a house.” specifies Jean-Marc Vayssouze-Faure. “Charles DUMONT inspired the image of a simple, sincere, particularly endearing man. In Cahors, in France and around the world, he will long be remembered through the famous melodies that he knew, with immense talent, create and inscribe in posterity To his partner and all his loved ones, I send my sincere condolences.
