BiographyJim Corcoran was born in Sherbrooke, but went to high school and obtained his B.A. in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1960s. The former seminarian returned to his native Quebec in 1970 with the idea to continue his studies at Bishop's University in Lennoxville before becoming a Latin professor.[3] Corcoran received his B.A. from Bishop's University in 1973[4] In his free time Corcoran taught himself guitar. His first language is English, but he has spent most of his musical career singing in French. In 1972, he formed the duo Jim et Bertrand with Bertrand Gosselin and they began performing in the Eastern Townships. During the 1970s, the group was associated with Quebec folk music. Corcoran began a solo career in francophone music after the group disbanded in 1979. From 1988 to 2018, Corcoran hosted the CBC Radio program À Propos, a program presenting the francophone popular music scene of Quebec, Canada and the world to the English network's audience.[5] During the show, Corcoran provided English translations of some of Quebec's most popular songs.[5] After announcing his retirement from broadcasting, he hosted the final episode of À Propos on September 2, 2018;[6] the following week, the similar new program C'est formidable!, hosted by Florence Khoriaty, made its debut. He wrote music for Cirque du Soleil's productions KÀ, Quidam and Wintuk. "Let Me Fall", a song Corcoran co-wrote with Benoît Jutras for Quidam, was recorded by Josh Groban for his self-titled album. Corcoran also portrayed the part of David in performances of the opera Nelligan in 1990.[7] Bishop's University granted Corcoran an honorary Doctor of Civil Law on 29 October 2004.[4] Awards and recognition
