Hubert Giraud

Hubert Yves Adrian Giraud (3 March 1920 – 16 January 2016) was a French composer, lyricist, singer, harmonica-player and guitarist. Giraud began his career playing the harmonica with Django Reinhardt's jazz group, the Quintette du Hot Club de France. In 1941, he was recruited by Ray Ventura to play the guitar during Ventura's big-band tour of South America. Six years later, he joined Jacques Hélian's orchestra in scoring a series of post-war romantic comedy films, including Georges Combert's 1951 feature, Musique en tête.
