Description: This is Volume 6 in the Le Siecle d'Or (Golden Century) series. Félix Leclerc, (August 2, 1914 – August 8, 1988) was a French-Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, writer, actor and Quebec political activist.

Leclerc was posthumously inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for his songs "Moi, mes souliers", "Le P'tit Bonheur" and "Le Tour de l'île" in 2006. He was born in La Tuque, Quebec from a family of pioneers in 1914, sixth in a family of 11 children. He began his studies at the University of Ottawa but was forced to stop due to the Great Depression. Leclerc worked at several jobs before taking jobs as a radio announcer in Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres from 1934 to 1937. In 1939, he began working as a writer at Radio Canada in Montreal, developing scripts for radio dramas, including Je me Souviens. He performed some of his earliest songs there. He also acted in various dramas, including Un Homme et son péché. He published a number of his scripts and founded a performing company which presented his plays through Quebec. In 1950, he was discovered by Paris impresario, Jacques Canetti, and performed his songs in France to great success. He signed a recording contract with Polydor Records. He returned to Quebec in 1953. In 1958, he received the top awards in France for his second album. He was invested into the Order of Canada in 1971, the National Order of Quebec in 1985 and became a Chevalier of the French Legion de Honneur in 1986. He died in his sleep in Quebec, on Ile d'Orleans in 1988. A monument in his memory was constructed there in 1989. Leclerc played a major role in revitalizing the Quebec folk song ("chanson") tradition. He also was a strong voice for Quebec nationalism. Multiple parks, roads and schools in Quebec have been named in his honor. The Felix Awards, given to Quebec recording artists, are named after him. In 2000, the Government of Canada honored him with his image on a postage stamp.
