Johnny Hallyday
He was first known as Jean-Philippe Smet in Paris, France,
and became very popular when given the chance.
This famous performing French artist’s birthday would be
on the date of 15 June, in 1943.
Many would consider him the French Elvis Presley.
Under his new pseudonym of Johnny Hallyday,
he achieved fame as the top French singer of his day.
A tireless performer that many fans extol,
Johnny would become number one with French rock n’ roll.
His popularity would indeed go very far.
Not only a singer, he was a top movie star.
With eighteen platinum albums and four hundred tours,
this is a star all the French-speaking public adores.
Thanks to wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.
