Corbeau was a notable rock ensemble from Quebec that emerged in 1977, founded by filmmaker, lyricist, and vocalist Pierre Harel. The original roster consisted of Michel "Willie" Lamothe on bass, Jean Millaire handling guitar duties, Roger "Wézo" Belval on drums—each previously part of Offenbach (band)—alongside guitarist Donald Hince. Initially, Harel took on lead singing responsibilities until Marjolène Morin joined the group; subsequently, both shared vocal roles until Harel's exit shortly before the 1979 release of their self-titled debut album, Corbeau. The band notably appeared at the 1981 ADISQ Awards held in Quebec. Following the departures of Morin and Millaire, Corbeau disbanded in 1984.
In 2009, several founding members reunited to contribute the track Demain to Marjo's album Marjo et ses hommes.
