A founding member of the Les Enfoirés charity collective in 1986, Goldman also wrote successful albums and songs for many artists, including D'eux for Céline Dion, which is the most successful French language record to date.[2] He received his most notable recognition in the English-speaking world for winning a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1997, as a co-author of three tracks on Céline Dion's Falling into You. After a voluntary retirement in the early 2000s, he remains appreciated and influential in France.[3][4][5][6]
