Nicholas ANDERSON/Shirley THOMPSON: 'Duplessis', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 10 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Duplessis
(fl 1722–44). Singer (taille=tenor). He entered the Paris Opéra chorus in 1711 and received an annual salary of 500 livres. He officially stopped singing in 1733 and collected tickets at the door of the Opéra until Easter 1744 when he received a pension; however, chorus lists in contemporary librettos show that he remained active as a singer well after 1733: he was involved in the 1744 production of Rameau's Dardanus. Eastwood suggests that he may have been the composer of the 82 chansons attributed to Duplessis l'aîné."
