Brigitte

Today Atomic Café - French Cuts 3 arrived, and yes, it's a very good selection of Ye-Ye, French samba and (psycho-)rocksongs. Sung by artists from the sixties and contemporary bands, who try (and manage) to sound like their sixties-counterparts. Most songs are by men, but there are a few ladies present. Like Brigitte Bardot (posted here), who covers a song by the late, great Wilson Simonal, Tu Veux Ou Tu Veux Pas (original title: Ne Ven Que Vao Ten, also used on the soundtrack for Cidade de Deus). Great song, always lovely to hear La Bardot in a sunny sambapopsong. Also on French Cuts 3; the mysterious Dani (can't find a good picture of this French counterpart of Nico, who as a model posed for Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton), Jacqueline Taïeb and Virginie Rodin. One of the best songs, though, is the French version of Spinning Wheel (Vieille Fille) by Eddy Mitchell.
