@hairymcnairy @RadioGainsbourg Great write-up! You covered everything really nicely. I find so many misunderstand the genre, even after reading Deluxe.
If you're interested in digging a bit deeper, I'd highly recommend reading Sounds French by @JonathyneBriggs.
@tinynoggin Yes, very sad news. A great talent 💔
@tinynoggin Awww thanks 😊😘

The lovely duo Ivy were influenced by vintage French pop and in 2002, recorded a gorgeous cover of Serge Gainsbourg's 'L'anamour'. pic.twitter.com/Xw5Kbz6UQS
I absolutely adore the soundtrack Christophe made for La Route de Salina, a 1970 French-Italian film. It's sensual, lush, and simply beautiful. Here's the stunning opening track, The Girl From Salina.

I was very saddened to hear the inimitable Cristina Monet passed away last month after battling coronavirus.
Here's her marvellous 1980 no-wave / disco rendition of @MICHELPOLNAREFF's 1966 classic 'La Poupée qui fait non': https://t.co/fGMgx1SXq2

🥰🥰 So happy to hear Marianne Faithfull is now recovering after being treated for coronavirus.
Here she is in 1966 performing 'Si demain' on the French TV special 'Show Tom Jones'.
