ABSTRACT
Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and Lo Ferr are three artists with different styles, different personalities and different attitudes towards the public and the media. There are many points of intersection in the three singer's public profiles and it is entirely possible to study them thematically; indeed, an analysis of Brel, Brassens and Ferr personae could have been articulated around three main poles: revolt, poetry and authenticity. The focus of the analysis will be the singer's public profiles, that is to say how they came across in their songs and in the media, through the themes they developed in their work and in their interviews. Ferr and Brassens had set poets to music, and some of their verse testified to the influence of the Romantics; but with Brel, to use again Dimitris Papanikolaous observation, poetry has become a general atmosphere.
