Overview

Everybody in France knows Serge Gainsbourg... Lucien Ginsburg, his real name, is a French singer-songwriter born in Paris in 1928 and died in 1991 in the same city. He has more than one string to his bow, especially as an actor or filmmaker, but he is first and foremost known for his works in the music industry, as a singer-songwriter and pianist under the name of Serge Gainsbourg. For the first time, Serge's greatest hits are lovingly translated into English for his legions of non-francophone fans. Finally, the nuance and subtlety of his lyrics can be enjoyed by a broader audience. Feel free to approach this tome as a reference book or as a condensed history of Serge's life. Enjoy the ride and provocation - Jane Birkin, Boris Vian, Juliette Greco, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Brigitte Bardot, Ray Charles, Anna Karina, Major Lance, Beethoven, Henry Miller, Vladimir Nabokov, Jean-Luc Godard, Richard Feynman, Catherine Deneuve and many more await!
