As an iconic figure in France, he achieved fame through his elegant songs with their harmonically complex music for voice and guitar and articulate, diverse lyrics. He is considered one of France's most accomplished postwar poets. He has also set to music poems by both well-known and relatively obscure poets, including Louis Aragon (''Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux''), Victor Hugo (''La Légende de la Nonne'', ''Gastibelza''), Paul Verlaine, Jean Richepin, François Villon (''La Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis''), and Antoine Pol (''Les Passantes'').
