His musical career started as the vocalist of the 80s group Les B.B. The hits include T’es Dans La Lune, Loulou, Be Careful and Tu Ne Saura Jamais. Patrick Bourgois had a beautiful and soulful voice. His voice was remarkable, dynamic and rich.

He also had a solo career, two albums in 1998s and one in 2001. In 2015, he did an album with his son Ludovick Bourgeois, who would win the 2017 edition of La Voix (Quebec’s version of the voice).
After that, Patrick Bourgeois attempted to perform together as a band with the two other members, Alan Lapointe and François Jean (1960-2020). He remained musically active until his illness.
Patrick Bourgeois leaves behind a fantastic musical legacy.
Rest in peace, Patrick Bourgeois
