Pierre-Jean de Béranger
Pierre-Jean de Béranger (19 August 1780 – 16 July 1857) was a prolific French poet and chansonnier (songwriter), who enjoyed great popularity and influence in France during his lifetime, but faded into obscurity in the decades following his death. He has been described as "the most popular French songwriter of all time" and "the first superstar of French popular music". Some newspapers from Malaysia and Seychelles mention that he was the retrospective composer of Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan, the anthem of the Malaysian state of Perak; the Indonesian folk song Terang Bulan and the national anthem of Malaysia, Negaraku. But there is argument on whether he ever wrote any melody throughout his life. |
