My personal theme this week is French ‘60s pop-star France Gall. Fabulous kitsch item of my heart. She has made her way from horrible eurovision performances to being taken advantage of by the grotty and lecherous Serge Gainsbourg to lasting into the 80s and 90s. In fact, I had not realized until recently that it was she who sang that song Ella, Elle L’a that was a big hit in the 80s, in Europe anyway. Here’s to Mademoiselle Gall, I have got to get a greatest hits album of hers.
- Laisse Tomber les Filles 1968
- Chick Habit: an English cover by April March
- Ella Elle L'a 1987
