Robert Charlebois, OC, OQ (born June 25, 1944) is a Quebec author, composer, musician, performer and actor. He is an important figure in French language song.

Charlebois was born in Montreal, Quebec. Among his best known songs are Lindberg and Je reviendrai à Montréal. His lyrics, often written in joual, are funny, relying upon plays on words. He won the Sopot International Song Festival in 1970.

In 1970 he sang with Italian singer Patty Pravo the Italian song La solitudine.

The Quebec-based microbrewery Unibroue was owned, in part, by Charlebois until it was purchased by Sleeman Breweries in 2004 which in turn was bought by Japanese beer brewing giant Sapporo in 2006.

Pure zany colourful fun song as good as the Beach Boys 'fun' songs. Didn't know about the 'tanks' reference which is only symbolic of the times....counter culture, dissent and change, internationally too. Quebec had to emerge from an old 'self' which had stifled it's potential as part of the Canadian fabric. Happy New Year Toutes.

#coupdecoeurmusiquevie Robert Charlebois fut le symbole de la contre-culture au Québec dans les années 60. Peut-être parce que ça parle de chars, mais j'aime bien cette pièce, du folklore déjanté. #Robertcharlebois #dolores
