Germaine Dugas

Germaine Dugas (born 1934) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and television host. She was one of the first women to record her own songs in Quebec.

Biography Germaine Dugas was born in 1934 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

She won fourth prize in the 1958 Concours de la chanson canadienne for "Viens avec moi et tu verras", a military march that was performed by the Collégiens Troubadours. Around that time, her song "Mes cousins" was successful.

Dugas stopped making discs after her second album, Germaine Dugas: oranges, citrons, limons, failed to achieve the expected success. She hosted the TV shows Cousin, Cousine in 1967 and Soleil et jour de pluie in 1969. She continued performing on stage until 1972.

She attempted a comeback on disc in 1983, but failed. She was a part of the Choeur des artistes in 1985, composed "Nous vivrons ensemble" for Danielle Oddera and Roberto Medile in 1989 and gave a few shows in the early 1990s. Les Éditions Trois published a songbook of her songs in 1991.

In 2010 "Deux enfants du même âge" was inducted in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
