The cover of Gainsbourg by Gilles Verlant |
And without a doubt it is the best (and maybe only) book in English that covers the French pop music world in such wonderful detail. More then half of the book is oral history of Gainsbourg and French pop/film world. Verlant is very much part of that world, and his access to the French pop stars, Serge's family, and various people around the music world at that time is pretty amazing. Also in this book you get some of Gainsbourg's brilliant lyrics wonderfully translated by Paul Knobloch.
