Talk:Gilbert Bécaud

Name change?
At the moment there is no explanation in the article for him not performing under his birth name. Does anyone know why he changed it? 206.47.112.24 (talk) 22:51, 30 April 2013 (UTC) Illegitimacy, it would seem. According to the French wikipedia article, [footnote 1]: Silly was his mother's then-married surname, while Bécaud was his actual father's surname. François Silly adopted the name Gilbert Bécaud in 1952. 146.90.49.2 (talk) 01:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
