Lejeune’s career began as a child when he started singing classical songs, and developed in a spectacular way with series of dates in clubs and ‘boîtes à chansons’. He regularly graced the pages of the newspapers and magazines of the time and was welcomed with open arms by Quebec’s artistic community. The great Félix Leclerc himself was a close friend and admirer.

In those days, Lejeune’s songs sounded both modern and commercial, and Quebec radio stations were avid takers. André Lejeune was soon known as an artist to be reckoned with.
