Born in Casablanca, Morocco, on January 10, 1941, Bernard Sauvat scored his biggest hit with the song "Le Professeur est un rêveur" in 1974. Noticed by Europe n° 1 radio director Lucien Morisse in 1970, the singer won the Grand Prix du disque de l'Académie Charles-Cros for the single "L'Amour il faut être deux" (1972), before achieving national fame with an extract from his 2nd album, "Le Professeur est un rêveur". One of the biggest hits of 1974, the song refers to his job as a mathematics teacher at a school in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Author, composer, guitarist and performer, Bernard Sauvat toured Europe and the Middle East. His departure from Disc'AZ for Gérard Tournier's label led to the recording of the album L'Amitié (1975) and several other songs, including "Monsieur Clément" (1976), "Les Kangourous" (1976), "Quand maman dort" (1977), "La Guerre est jolie" (1977), "Coeur fantastique " (1978) and "J'suis heureux", selected for the Concours de la chanson française. In addition to paying tribute to Argentine footballer Oswaldo Piazza in "Mon copain l'Argentin" (1978), Bernard Sauvat dedicates the 1982 album Tu Vois, Petit... to the sport, including the anthem of the French team, "Victoria... Victoria", and composed the music for the film Une équipe de rêve. His career continued with "Le Professeur ne rêve plus" (1989), a children's musical in 2008 and the " Âge tendre et têtes de bois " tour in 2009-2010. Made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2011, the singer recorded the albums Le Professeur Chante pour les Enfants! (2015), La Poésie à Fleur de Mots (2016), Retour à l'Auberge Ganne (2017) and Mes Silences d'Autrefois (2018), followed by Récital (live, 2020) and the 7-CD compilation Anthologie (2021).
