Jacques Duvall is a hero in my book: not only did he work with big names like Alain Chamfort, The Sparks, Jane Birkin and Etienne Daho, this is the guy who co-wrote Lio's Banana Split, a Filles Sourires-classic. Last year, Duvall made a duets-album with the oh-so-lovely Elisa Point. It features very tender songs, not all sung by the both of 'em by the way. It's all very Serge & Jane when they get together, ofcourse. Elisa does one cover, Leonard Cohen's I'm Your Man en français. As you know, I love genderconfusing songs, and Elisa does a great job.

Duvall made too a solo album, with a duet with Helena Noguerra (a cover of Rollings Stones) and a perfect version of 'te amo' but in french and called 'je te hais' (something like 'i hate you'), i put it on my Blog...
