Man Recordings Inspiration Series #9 : Serge Gainsbourg
Saturday, November 8th, 2008
No doubt, Serge Gainsbourg was one of the coolest motherfuckers of the 20th century. Besides shagging all major European top ladies from Brigitte Bardot to Jane Birkin in the 1960s and 70s he released some of the most outstanding records that still sound fresh and inspiring today. Think of the “The Histoire Of Melody Nelson” album, or the dopest beat from the 1960s in the proto-rap anthem “Requiem Pour Un Con”, or his collaboration with Sly & Robbie on “Aux Armes Et Cetera” (check the dub album!).
