ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The trio Brel-Brassens-Ferr has been taken for granted since its creation, and yet, no convincing argument has been found to justify the singer's systematic association. The singer's works shared a common cultural legacy, and were influenced by the same intellectual and artistic movements. The careers of Brel, Brassens and Ferr developed in a period of transition in the music industry: they were brought up and trained in the era of the cabaret tradition, but rose to fame during the booming of the music hall and the star system. Twenty-first century singers, on the other hand, cannot pretend to ignore the functioning of the music industry and the star system: their maladjustment, therefore, is necessarily feigned and acted, as the performances of singers like Bnabar or Vincent Delerm, for example, testify.
