Publicity

There are not so many singers who, 30 years after their death, have never disappeared from screens, playlists or radios of all kinds.

Serge Gainsbourg

is one of them.

The accursed poet of French song, worn out by tobacco, alcohol and life, died young, a month before his 63 years, left in our ears no less than 485 songs, written for him and for so many other.

Songs that never cease to be repeated and to nourish films, plays and other shows.

We also remember the provocations and scandals that punctuated a career that will not leave anyone indifferent.

We are talking about it today with

Bernard Pascuito

.

A few months after his death, he signed a tribute book soberly entitled "Gainsbourg, the book of memory".

30 years later, he published "The last life of Serge Gainsbourg", with the éditions du Recherches-Midi.
