Serge Gainsbourg was the dirty old man of popular euphony; a French singer/songwriter and agent provocateur infamous for his esurient appetency for alcoholic drink, cigarettes, and women, his shocking, taboo-shattering output signal made him a legend in Europe simply entirely a cult chassis in America, where his unique hit "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus" stalled on the pop charts -- suitably sufficiency -- at number 69.

Born Lucien Ginzberg in Paris on April 2, 1928, his parents were Russian Jews world Health Organization fled to France following the events of the 1917 Bolshevik insurrection. After perusal artistry and teaching, he turned to painting before working as a legal community pianist on the local nightspot circuit. Soon he was tapped to join the cast of the musical Milord L'Arsoille, where he reluctantly sham a vocalizing function; self-conscious around his rather homy appearing, Gainsbourg initially wanted only to carve taboo a niche as a composer and producer, not as a performer.

Inactive, he made his recording debut in 1958 with the album Du Chant a la Une; while strong efforts like 1961's L'Etonnant Serge Gainsbourg and 1964's Gainsbourg Confidentiel followed, his jazz-inflected solo work performed seedy on the charts, although compositions for vocalists ranging from Petula Clark to Juliette Greco to Dionne Warwick proved much more than successful. In the late '60s, he befriended the actress Brigitte Bardot, and afterwards became her devotee; with Bardot as his muse, Gainsbourg's lushly arranged music suddenly became erotic and delirious, and together, they performed a series of duets -- including "Fair and Clyde," "Harley Davidson," and "Comic Strip" -- celebrating pop culture icons.

Gainsbourg's matter with Bardot was brief, but its personal effects were irrevocable: subsequently he became involved with constant companion Jane Birkin, they recorded the 1969 duette "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus," a birdcall he originally penned for Bardot complete with steamy lyrics and expressed heavy respiration. Although banned in many corners of the globe, it reached the top of the charts throughout Europe, and grew in stature to become an resistance authoritative by and by covered by performers ranging from Donna Summer to Ray Conniff.

Gainsbourg returned in 1971 with Histoire de Melody Nelson, a dingy, complex vocal rhythm which signalled his increasing estrangement from modern culture: drugs, disease, suicide and misanthropy became thematic fixtures of his crop, which grew more esoteric, inflammatory, and horrific with each passing release. Although Gainsbourg never once more reached the commercial success of his late-'60s point, he remained an stately and controversial figure throughout Europe, where he was both vilified and far-famed for his shocking behavior, which included combustion five hundred francs on a live telly propagate and recording a reggae version of the sacred "La Marseillaise."

Gainsbourg too created a cult with the single "Lemon Incest," a duo with his daughter, the actress Charlotte Gainsbourg. In accession, he posed in sweep up for the compensate of 1984's Love on the Beat, a aggregation of songs about male person hustlers, and made sexual advances towards Whitney Houston on a live TV broadcast. Along with his pop music body of work, Gainsbourg scored a identification number of films, and also directed and appeared in a smattering of features, most notably 1976's Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus, which starred Birkin and Andy Warhol backbone Joe Dallesandro. He died on March 2, 1991.

Specials Star Hall Struggling With Lyrics

The SPECIALS frontman TERRY HALL is studying his band's old albums in preparation for a reunion tour later this year (08) - because he can't remember the words to songs he wrote.

The Ghost Town singer fears old age has robbed him of his memory and, as a result, the band will only perform songs from their first two albums.

Hall says, "There's like an album-and-a-half that I haven't even thought about since 1981. I'm using lots of lyric sheets because I keep on getting words mixed up."

The Specials recently reformed and are now planning their first dates together in 25 years.

Hall and his bandmates have ignored big-money offers to perform at British arenas and instead are planning a tour of theatre-sized venues.

The frontman explains, "That's the kind of venue where we started. I don't like arena dates, at all. They're just soulless."

MacMillan premiere, Barbican, London

Colin Davis's protagonism of James MacMillan has reached a high point with this premiere of the Scots English composer's place setting of the St John Lackland Passion, for full orchestra, deuce choirs and baritone soloist; Davis's affair has ensured further performances in Amsterdam, Bean Town and Berlin, in add-on to this glamorous launch with the LSO.Largely song in English, MacMillan's setting divides the narrative 'tween a baritone horn Saviour, sung by St. Christopher Maltman, on sterling form, a small choir of narrators, and a larger grouping representing Peter, Pontius Pilate and other characters - the British capital Symphony Chorus. Much of the chorale writing is like plainsong writ large, patch the solo baritone line is full of quasi-oriental melismas. At the end of from each one section, there is a related Latin motet place in a bodoni reading of Renaissance fashion to add a to a greater extent reflective element.

Granted, MacMillan uses only standard organization, but they and the percussion let rent as well often. When a sequence of godhead crashes ends the third incision, and then recurs to open up the fourth, it sounds nigh comically over-scored. It is regrettable as well that MacMillan chooses to extrapolate a setting of the Goodness Fri Reproaches, an antediluvian holy Sacrament whose antisemitism has rightly brought it into disrepute. They are non voice of the regular Passion of Christ text.This was an exemplary operation, though the piece relies likewise heavily on totally personal manner of previous chorale kit and caboodle, and even Hollywood religious epics, plus enigmatic quotes from Wagner, to launch its possess positive identity.
