So this week's celebration of the work of Serge Gainsbourg continues, marking the 20th anniversary of his death.
I put on one of his later performances yesterday, so here's one of his early ones, La Chanson de Prevert, very much a classic song and one that makes clear why Gainsbourg was so much more than just the provocative figure he was later known as, also posessing a poetic ability that was second to none.
Quite an astonishing piece of work this song.
