This 2007 article by Lisa Robinson is an in depth article of my favourite iconic french singer Serge Gainsbourg. I believe this article is an example of great journalism and for a fan like me was a real insight into gainsbourgs life. Thier were interviews with Jane Birkin, Bambou and Serges daughter Charlotte which each shed light on different facets of Gainsbourgs character. I love the fact that Gainsbourgs apartment has not been changed, there is still the life size image of Bridgette Bardot and the statue of the cabbage head man. this article covered the final moments of Gainsborgs life and the arftermarth of his death.
It may seem strange that a character like Gainsbourg could be such an inspriation but through it all he lived life and never gave up on his passions right to the very end.
