Anne Renée (born Manon Kirouac; August 24, 1950)^[1] is a Canadian pop singer who rose to fame in Quebec in the 1970s.

Anne Renée was born in Laval, Quebec. In 1964, she released her debut song under her real name, Manon Kirouac. She had some success on discs and pursued her career in music until 1968, when she decided to complete her education. Later she started using her pop song name Anne Renée. Her friend, singer Johnny Farago, introduced her to producer Guy Cloutier, who took her under his wing. She became one of the most popular female singers in Quebec with hits like "Un amour d'adolescent" (a translation of a Paul Anka song) and "On trouve l'amour" (by the composer François Bernard of SOCAN). It was around this time that she fell in love with Cloutier's partner, René Angélil, whom she married in 1973,^[2] and with whom she had two children.^[3] Her musical career ended in 1979. She worked for two years as host and singer on the show Les Tannants, with Pierre Marcotte.^[4] She permanently left the art scene after that. In 1986, she divorced Angélil and moved to California,^[4][5] while Angélil went on to marry Canadian singer Celine Dion.
