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.
