Daniel Balavoine (Alençon, February 5, 1952 ? January 14, 1986) was a French singer and songwriter. He was hugely popular in the French-speaking world, and inspired many singers in the 1980s, such as Jean-Jacques Goldman. He took part in French political life, and is known for a 1980 televised verbal confrontation with François Mitterrand.
