"My mother gave birth to me, but Edith Piaf brought me into the world," Mr. Dumont said in a 2015 interview, epitomizing his profound connection to the iconic singer.
"Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, introduced in 1960, became a definitive song for a definitive French singer, a woman who became not just a global star but also a cultural ambassador for her country."
The song's martial solemnity and powerful lyrics present a defiant rejection of the past, urging listeners to embrace a new future.
Mr. Dumont had a prolific career, crafting music for notable artists and projects, yet the songs he wrote for Piaf would define his legacy.
