== Biography ==
Born in Paris to immigrant Polish Jewish parents, Alter Mojze Goldman and Ruth Ambrunn, Goldman was the third of four children. As a child, he began his music studies on the violin, then the piano. In 1968, he abandoned his classical music studies for "American Rock & Roll" as well as folk music, emphasizing the guitar. He also earned a business degree from the École Des Hautes Études Commerciales, commonly known as ''EDHEC'', in Lille. In 1972, he met Catherine, his first wife, with whom he had three children. He first entered the French music scene as member of a progressive rock group named Taï Phong ("great wind, typhoon" in Vietnamese), which released its first album in 1975. Their first song to be a moderate hit was "Sister Jane." After four years and three albums sung in English with Taï Phong, Goldman was determined to do it alone and write and sing in French.
