Life

Caricature of Fursy by Sem

Henri Dreyfus was born on 26 February 1866 in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.[2]

Under the stage name of Henri Fursy, he was a chansonnier, a singer of humorous songs, in Montmartre. He also directed several cabarets as a manager or owner, including the famous Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat), which he bought after the death of Rodolphe Salis and renamed La Boîte à Fursy (The Fursy Box). He also wrote songs for several Parisian artists of the early 20th century.[3][4][5]

Henri Fursy was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1927.[6] He died in Nice on 14 April 1929.[7][8] Albert Michaud published a tribute after his death in Le Cornet (The Horn) where he says Fursy left a young widow and an adopted girl.[2][9] He is buried in the cemetery of Montparnasse.[9]
