RFI Music WWW site, viewed Mar. 18, 2014: (The Frères Jacques, a vocal quartet who wove comedy, choreography, and sketches into their popular stage shows, hold a very special place in the history of French chanson. The foursome, who enjoyed an extremely successful career spanning nearly 40 years, were much-loved for their song-and-dance routines and their striking stage costumes: colourful leotards, gloves, hats and black tights! The four members of the Frères Jacques, brothers André and Georges Bellec, François Soubeyran, and Paul Tourenne, launched their collective career in 1944; 1979 marked the beginning of the end for the Frères Jacques)
