Yves Roze, better known as Jean-François Michael (born 16 April 1946) is a French singer. Between 1963 and 1968, he sang under his birth name Yves Roze. In 1968, Michel Berger (under his real name Michel Hamburger) wrote "Adieu jolie Candy" that was a hit for Jean-François Michael. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[1]

Under the new name Jean-François Michael, sometimes written with a diaeresis on the "e" in Michael, as in Jean-François Michaël, he released three albums between 1968 and 1972, and a number of singles, but struck by a grave illness, he abandoned his musical career. He came back in 1975, but as a music director and record producer.
