comment?I'll delete all the repeated or clueless comments, the rest (including swearwords, critics, opinions) will be kept.In 1968 Gainsbourg had written "Je t'aime, moi non plus", an explicitly erotic song which he had recorded with Brigitte Bardot.After the pair's relationship had ended, Bardot begged Gainsbourg not to release the recording as a single and Gainsbourg, the perfect gentleman, respected her wishes.However, in 1969 Jane recorded the notorious song as a duet with Gainsbourg and it appeared on the pair's joint album "Jane Birkin Serge Gainsbourg".When "Je t'aime moi non plus" was released as a single later that year it caused an absolute scandal.The international press attacked the song's "lewd" message, radios banned it from their playlists and the Vatican went so far as to issue a statement condemning the immoral nature of the song.In short, "Je t'aime moi non plus" benefited from a huge amount of free publicity and rocketed straight to the top of the charts, selling around a million copies in the space of just a few months.Needless to say, Gainsbourg and Birkin became the most scandalous couple of the year and their relationship became the subject of intense media scrutiny.The code changes based on your selection.Pour pouvoir lire les informations de passeport, votre navigateur doit supporter les frames.English artist on the French music scene?Serge Gainsbourg also played a major part in catapulting her to overnight fame.So it seemed entirely natural that Jane should end up devoting almost 30 years of her career to performing Gainsbourg's inimitable material.Jane Birkin was born in London on 14 December 1946.Her mother, Judy Gamble (better known in The English theatre world by her stage name Judy Campbell) was a renowned actress and a favourite muse of the famous English playwright Noel Coward.But she soon left the theatre and became involved in the film world, landing her first role in Richard Lester's film "The Knack" in 1965.Jane had just married the English musician John Barry (composer of the legendary James Bond theme) and on 8 April 1967 the couple celebrated the birth of their daughter Kate.Jane Birkin's personal life as well as her career.Gainsbourg, who had just turned 40, already had a long and distinguished career behind him, not to mention a series of tumultuous love affairs.Azur to begin shooting Jacques Deray's film "La Piscine".In 1968 Gainsbourg had written "Je t'aime, moi non plus", an explicitly erotic song which he had recorded with Brigitte Bardot.After the pair's relationship had ended, Bardot begged Gainsbourg not to release the recording as a single and Gainsbourg, the perfect gentleman, respected her wishes.However, in 1969 Jane recorded the notorious song as a duet with Gainsbourg and it appeared on the pair's joint album "Jane Birkin Serge Gainsbourg".Indeed, Gainsbourg's erotic lyrics and Jane's passionate whispering totally outraged public opinion.Needless to say, Gainsbourg and Birkin became the most scandalous couple of the year and their relationship became the subject of intense media scrutiny.The Sound of Wedding Bells?Jane went on to move into Gainsbourg's Paris residence (in the rue de Verneuil), and the couple soon settled into a somewhat calmer mode of existence.Kate (Jane's daughter from her first marriage) began to spend an increasing amount of time with the couple in Paris.Indeed, Gainsbourg would bring her up as his own daughter.Meanwhile, the couple continued to devote a huge amount of time and energy to their respective careers.In 1970 Jane landed two minor film roles and spent much of the year rushing on and off film sets.Meanwhile, Gainsbourg was busy working on his new album "l'Histoire de Melody Nelson".Although Jane's vocals played a secondary role on "l'Histoire de Melody Nelson", there was no mistaking the fact that Jane was the primary source of inspiration behind the album.Claude Vannier (who went on to work on Jane Birkin's albums right up until the 90's) proved to be a huge critical success.Indeed, "l'Histoire de Melody Nelson" was widely held to be the finest album of Gainsbourg's entire career.In fact, Jane decided to call off the event, fearing a public wedding would provoke a huge media circus.Later that year Jane turned her attention to her acting career once again, appearing in Roger Vadim's film "Don Juan 73".Jane went on to become an extremely popular actress with French film directors who found her English accent and her general quirkiness enchanting.But the highlight of Jane's career in 1975 was undoubtedly her appearance in Gainsbourg's first film "Je t'aime moi non plus" (which began shooting in le Gard, a region in the South of France in September).Jane Birkin complete with cropped wig!The film's controversial sex scenes and its frank examination of sexual ambiguity caused a veritable scandal when "Je t'aime moi non plus" hit French cinema screens in March 1976.Gainsbourg was pilloried in the press and Jane's performance in the film was also attacked.The film critic Henri Chapier, writing in the "Quotidien de Paris", was also impressed by Birkin's performance : "This film blows through Jane Birkin's tranquil career with the force of a whirlwind (...In 1977 Jane tried her hand at songwriting, penning the lyrics to "Yesterday yes a day" (which was used in the soundtrack to the French film "Madame Claude").Gainsbourg had ever written for his partner.This surreal song, full of the most bizarre, complicated wordplay certainly proved that Gainsbourg was one of the most talented songwriters of his generation.And Jane was undoubtedly the ideal person to perform her partner's strange literary texts.Paul Belmondo and John Guillermin's "Death on The Nile", in which she played opposite Peter Ustinov, in 1978).Then, after a brief period of moving from one rented flat to another, Jane bought herself a house in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.This comfortable house, surrounded by a tiny garden, would become Jane's place of refuge for the next 15 years.Jane ended up separating from Gainsbourg, but the couple remained on good terms, seeing each other frequently and sharing custody of their daughter, Charlotte.Like Gainsbourg, Doillon would play a major role in Jane's career, offering her a series of roles in his own films and advising her on her film career.For not only did Jane get to play a major lead role (opposite the famous French actor Michel Piccoli), she also got the chance to play a tragic heroine.Jane gave her all, revealing an unexpected depth to her acting.Birkin and Doillon's affair soon developed into a major relationship and shortly after they set up home together, Jane gave birth to a daughter, Lou, in September 1982.Jane continued to devote an enormous amount of time and energy to her acting career, making at least one film a year.Warnier's film "la Femme de ma vie" in 1986).The Reunion1983 marked another important highlight in Jane Birkin's recording career, for this was the year in which she renewed her professional partnership with Gainsbourg.Gainsbourg also shot a special short film to coincide with the release of the album).Needless to say, Jane's new album proved a huge hit with music fans who were overjoyed at Birkin's professional reunion with Gainsbourg.Thousands of fans rushed out to buy a copy of "Baby alone in Babylone" and Jane's new album rocketed to the top of the charts, going gold within a few months of its release.English actress rave reviews from French theatre critics.Later that same year Jane's daughter, Charlotte, decided to follow in her mother's footsteps and launch her own acting career.Awards" (French theatre's equivalent of the Oscars) to receive her award for Best Female Newcomer of the Year.In 1985 Charlotte Gainsbourg also prolonged the family tradition of media scandals, when she played the starring role in Gainsbourg's new film "Charlotte forever".The film, which revolved around a vaguely incestuous relationship between a father and daughter (both Serge and Charlotte played themselves in the film) did not fail to provoke public outrage.Gainsbourg had written specially for her.After having experimented with reworkings of Chopin for Charlotte, Gainsbourg was influenced by Grieg's opera "Peer Gynt" when he wrote the title track of Jane's new album "Lost Song".Following the release of the album "Lost Song", Jane appeared in concert in Paris at Le Bataclan (March 1987).Jane Birkin's very first live concert!In spite of Jane's relative inexperience on stage, the series of concerts at Le Bataclan proved to be a huge success and in April 1987 Jane was invited to perform at the prestigious Printemps de Bourges festival.Needless to say, Jane brought the house down at Bourges and Gainsbourg captured her entire performance on film.Jane) and a teenage boy (played by Mathieu Demy, Varda's own son).Period of MourningJane also returned to the stage in 1990, starring opposite the French actor Pierre Dux in Israel Horowitz's play "Quelque part dans cette vie".Once again, Jane's performance was well received by both audience and critics.Jane gave a highly moving performance, turning her concerts into a personal tribute to her former lover and songwriting partner Gainsbourg.In 1991 Jane also discovered what it was like to be on the other side of the camera when she made a short documentary film for Amnesty International about a young Filipino woman.Sorry I Didn't Realise You Were Sleeping), starring Jacques Perrin and Christine Boisson, traced the breakdown of a relationship as a distraught couple discussed their problems late into the night.Birkin embarked upon a national tour, appearing at a number of major French music festivals (including the famous "Francofolies de la Rochelle" in July).Meanwhile, Jane's elder daughter, Kate Barry, launched a career in fashion and spent her free time working in rehab centres with former drug addicts.This project was very similar to the Amnesty International venture Jane had been involved with three years earlier.Gainsbourg had written for her over the years.Jane returned to London in the spring of '95 to play one of the lead roles in "Trojan Women", Euripides' famous Greek tragedy which was staged at the National Theatre.Jane still found time to pursue her film career as well and later that year she appeared in three new films.Vertes' vibrant new version of "la Gadoue" (a song Gainsbourg had written thirty years earlier for another famous English singer, Petula Clark).September), is the first album of her career which does not feature a single track by Gainsbourg.The following year, Jane Birkin went back onto the theatre stage where

"Fictions" (released in March 2006).For the first time in her career, she went back to singing almost exclusively in English and explored new musical territory thanks to collaborations with artists

recommended to all the people out there who admire very sweet vocals and the sixties inspiration towards music...You even don't have to understand French to enjoy this album..So don't be surprised if you thought that this track rings a bell or something ...For the fans of (Nico,Kahimi Karie,Yoko Ono,Bridget Bardot,Francoise Hardy and Pizzicato 5),this is a must buy.Was this review helpful to you?This is easily the least essential studio album from Gainsboug's classic period, mainly because Jane Birkin provides the majority of the vocals."L'Anamour", "Elisa", "Manon" etc....Overall I would say that this is a bad place to start if you are new to Serge.This is really a Jane Birkin album and song for song it's one of the weaker efforts in Serge's fascinating catalogue.Was this review
