Dumont, who had also collaborated with American singer Barbra Streisand, died at home after a brief illness.>A trumpeter by training, Dumont's career transformed at the turn of the 1960s when he convinced the star singer Piaf to perform one of his compositions, after having been refused several times. "We turned up at her home, and she let us in," Dumont told AFP in 2018 about the day in 1960 when he managed to see Piaf together with his lyricist, Michel Vaucaire.>"I played the piece on the piano, and (...) we became inseparable," he said, adding that the song – which he had written in 1956 aged 27 – revived Piaf's career that he said had been flagging.

"When you come back in front of an audience, who come to see you as they came 20, 30 or 40 years ago and give you the same welcome, then they give you back your 20s," he said.https://www.lemonde.fr/en/culture/article/2024/11/18/charles-dumont-composer-of-piaf-s-non-je-ne-regrette-rien-dies-aged-95_6733176_30.html
