Michel Berger (28 November 1947, Neuilly-sur-Seine - 2 August 1992, Ramatuelle), born Michel-Jean Hamburger, was a french author-composer-singer.
He is the son of the famous doctor Jean Hamburger. His parents were polish jews.
He married France Gall, he also wrote many songs for her.
In 1978, he composes the musical: Starmania, with lyrics by Luc Plamondon. The musical starred France Gall, Daniel Balavoine, Diane Dufresne, Nanette Workman, Eric Estève and Fabienne Thibeault. It was a big succes in France in the 1980s and 1990s. An english version: Tycoon was released in 1991 with lyrics by Tim Rice, but it did not get the succes the original version had in France.
