Serge Gainsbourg was a restless and musical chameleon who left his unique mark on French music from the 1950s onwards. He started out as a neatly trimmed chansonnier. His songs from the 1960s were heavily influenced by beat and rock and roll. Despite the refusal of many radio stations to play the song, he scored a big hit with the mischievous Je T'Aime (Moi Non Plus). On later albums Serge also… experimented with rock, reggae (in collaboration with Sly & Robbie), film scores, disco and electro. In addition, he did not avoid any controversy in his lyrics. For example, a reggae version of the French national anthem (Aux Armes Et Caetera) and a tasteless duet with his young daughter (Lemon Incest) led to furious reactions. Gainsbourg died in 1991. His Parisian house on Rue de Verneuil grew into a place of pilgrimage among his fans.more
