| General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 4 stamps Photography: Manon Boyer Each star featured has made remarkable contributions to the Canadian music scene. International rock superstar Bryan Adams helped develop an infrastructure to propel other Canadians to the top of the charts. Renowned folklorist Stompin’ Tom Connors protested the policies he felt were hindering Canada’s artistic potential. A pioneer in French-Canadian rock, Robert Charlebois gave voice to and furthered the development of the chanson. And Acadian sensation Édith Butler promoted familiarity with and appreciation for her Acadian culture across Canada and around the world. Like the first stamp issue celebrating Canadian singers and songwriters released in 2007, this set was designed by Winnipeg’s Circle Design Inc. Designer Robert L. Peters. The stamps are square in format and feature monochromatic photos of each artist alongside their Order of Canada insignias. To reflect the glamour of these “living legends,” each is captured in the limelight. Robert Charlebois Touted for his charismatic on-stage performances, Robert Charlebois pioneered the chanson and revolutionized the French-Canadian music scene when he brought British and American pop influences to his folk roots. This legend, known to fans as “Garou,” established a reputation as one of the most influential figures in the history of Québec music and la Francophonie. “I have been stamped as a zany singer all my life, but now, finally, I am globally acknowledged as a man of letters,” says Robert Charlebois of the upcoming stamp issue.
