From the start of his career during the late '50s to his death in '91, this legendary French star captivated Europe with his acting and music (not to mention his social life). His notorious hit, "Je'taime... Moi Non Plus," a duet with Jane Birkin, is joined by other pop hits on this album, which also includes duets with Brigitte Bardot. American fans of the artist have been waiting for CD reissues of Gainsbourg's classic LPs, and, the current lounge culture provides many new sales opportunities to a hip, younger audience.
