I've been a huge fan of this man for decades, and I honestly had no idea he was still creating so much new music, and he even did the closing ceremony for the 2024 Olympics in Paris (he's French).
Jean-Michel Jarre - Wikipedia
From wiki...
"His first mainstream success was the 1976 album Oxygène. Recorded in a makeshift studio at his home, the album sold an estimated 18 million copies. Oxygène was followed in 1978 by Équinoxe, and in 1979, Jarre performed to a record-breaking audience of more than a million people at the Place de la Concorde, a record he has since broken three times. More albums followed, but his 1979 concert served as a blueprint for his future performances around the world. Several of his albums have been released to coincide with large-scale outdoor events.
As of 2004, Jarre had sold an estimated 80 million albums and singles.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Michel_Jarre#cite_note-3"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a> He was the first Western musician officially invited to perform in the People's Republic of China and held the world record for the largest-ever audience at an outdoor event for his Moscow concert on 6 September 1997, which was attended by 3.5 million people."
These are some of my favorite albums of his...

RIP Ron McNair and the rest of the Challenger crew.
