Serge Gainsbourg

À propos de Serge Gainsbourg

Serge Gainsbourg was the provocateur genius of French music, a restless artist who moved fluidly between chanson, pop, reggae, funk, and electronica across four decades. Born in Paris to Russian-Jewish immigrants, he cultivated a persona of elegant decadence that scandalized and delighted France in equal measure. His songwriting was literary, subversive, and often ahead of its time. Gainsbourg remains the most influential figure in modern French popular music.
