# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Joseph Ira Dassin was born November 5, 1938, an American by birth but a French star by choice. He sang in multiple languages, but France and the French-speaking world gave him what his homeland never quite did: total devotion. By the time he died on August 20, 1980, at forty-one, he'd sold nearly 25 million records worldwide. The arc was short, the impact lasting — a transplant who belonged.
