The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame has inducted the song “Aimons-nous,” written by Yvon Deschamps and the late Jacques Perron, on Oct. 15, 2019, in Montréal. It took place during the inauguration of the Palestre Nationale pavilion of the Association sportive et communautaire du Centre-Sud, which is supported in part by Yvon Deschamps’ foundation. SOCAN interviewed him, and he told us about how this landmark song – a hymn to love that has withstood the test of time – came to be.
