A star in both English and French for the majority of the ‘70s, Michel “Pag” Pagliaro was Québec's answer to the chunky, rootsy rock of bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival, a gritty singer who could write an unforgettable guitar melody in his sleep. His 1972 single “J'entends frapper” was enshrined in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2010, and that's just the foremost of his hits: At his peak, he was churning out handfuls of sparkling, sunny gems like “Lovin' You Ain't Easy” every year and capturing listeners' ears no matter what language they spoke. Take a step back in time and discover why Pagliaro's songwriting endures decades later.
