Georges Pompidou, wife of the French Premier, Academician François Mauriac, Track Star Michel Jazy, and Bernard Gavoty, Paris' leading music critic. The tributes covered as broad a range. Distance Runner Jazy, who knows something about breath control, remarked in awe that Becaud "must have lungs like Atlas."
