France

Walking temptation, that's the best way to describe the young, innocent France Gall (born October 7, sorry, forgot about your anniversaire!). When I think of France, I think of the smirking Serge Gainsbourg, who sang the scandalous Les Sucettes with her in a French tv-show. The then (1968) underage Gall had no idea what the song was about, or so she claimed. The lyrics were about a girl sucking on lollipops, with the anis dripping down her throat. Risqué! La Gall grew up to be a beautiful woman, scored a lot of hits in France, but retreated in 2001.
Last year, a spectaculair 13cd/dvd box was released (check), Evidemment, with songs (live and studio) from the seventies, eighties and nineties, written by Michel Berger. I'm not a big fan of her later work, so posted here is Les Yeux Bleux, from the sixties.

Hear here.
