Chuck Labelle

Canadian musician

Jean-Guy (Chuck) Labelle (born 18 March 1954) is a Franco-Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who performs francophone New Country-Rock music.[1] He is from Mattawa, Ontario. His first album, Chuck, reached Gold status after two years and his second album, Un cadeau de Noël, with partner Robert Paquette, also reached Gold.[2] His 1999 single, Le Cowboy, released in both French and English versions, was No. 1 on the European country music charts.[3] However, in a 1999 interview on the music business, Labelle also commented that "Getting known; carving my name into the history of Franco-Ontarian performers. Distribution is a big problem."[4] Labelle has written and produced over 150 original songs.[5] In 2015, he received the Prix Hommage award from the Association des professionels de la chanson et de la musique.[6][7]
