Jean-Jacques Goldman (born 11 October 1951) is a French singer-songwriter. He is hugely popular in the French-speaking world. In the 1990s, he was part of the trio Fredericks Goldman Jones with a string of hits.

In 1981, Marc Lumbroso heard his recording "Il suffira d'un signe" on the album Démodé. In 1982, his first hit album Minoritaire, which included the hit song "Quand la musique est bonne", was released; subsequent albums have all been successful.

 

In 1987, Jean-Jacques Goldman recorded the hit single "Là-bas" with Sirima, which remained a popular song throughout the years.

 

From 1990 to 1995, he recorded 2 studio albums, one live album and released several singles (such as "Nuit", "À nos actes manqués", "Né en 17 à Leidenstadt" and "Tu manques") with Carole Fredericks and Michael Jones, which were successful.

 

In 2007, Jean-Jacques Goldman recorded the hit "4 Mots sur un piano" with Patrick Fiori and Christine Ricol.
