Franck Dervieux

Franck Dervieux was a French-born keyboardist, music director and composer who died in Québec in 1975. He began his career as a performer's accompanist, first in France, and then in Québec. He conducted many established artists' musicians, and finally recorded his own album in 1971. His music influenced several Québec musicians and helped define a new Québecois progressive rock sound in the early 70s. His career came to an abrupt end at the age of 44 due to an incurable illness.
