Born in 1948, Montreal's Michel Pagliaro learned how to play guitar at age 11 and by 15 was playing in his first band - Les Stringmen, followed by Les Bluebirds and Les Merseys. At age 18 he became the replacement bass player for the successful Les Chancelliers and went on to become the lead singer for the group, who managed to hit the charts with the 1966 single "Le P'tit Poppy". By age 20 he grew tired of just being in bands and decided to go solo by releasing several singles in Quebec including "Comme d'habitude" (the original french version of "My Way") and "Avec la tete".
