France Gall was a French singer born on October 9, 1947 in Paris. She had a successful career and was known for her partnership with French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. Together, they created memorable music that captivated audiences. France Gall won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965 with her iconic song "Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son". Sadly, she passed away on January 7, 2018 at the age of 70 due to infection/cancer.

Throughout her career, France Gall collaborated with various artists and musicians. Her unique style and powerful vocals set her apart from others in the industry. Some similar artists who have been influenced by her work include Sylvie Vartan, Marie Laforêt, Véronique Sanson, Françoise Hardy, Christophe, Nino Ferrer, Claude François, Michel Delpech, Elsa Brigitte Bardot Dalida Laurent Voulzy Jacques Dutronc Michel Berger Marc Lavoine Étienne Daho Michel Polnareff Nicoletta Eddy Mitchell Sheila.

France Gall's legacy lives on through her timeless music and contributions to the French music scene. Her talent and passion continue to inspire new generations of artists around the world.

The definitive collection of Gallic girl France Gall’s upbeat, irresistible girl pop, recorded for Phillips 1963-1968. Including all the songs Serge Gainsbourg composed for France Gall, bringing them together for the first time outside France.

France Gall won the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest with ‘Poupée De Cire Poupée De Son’, written specially for her by the legendary cultural icon Serge Gainsbourg. She was the first pop singer he’d written for.

As well as satirising Swinging London on ‘Made In France’, Gall brought her naive magic to subversive Gainsbourg songs like ‘Teenie Weenie Boppie’ (about LSD) and ‘Les Sucettes’ (a barely cloaked metaphor for a sex act – she had no idea what the song was about).

Also unique to this release is the first chance to hear her shelved take of Gainsbourg’s ‘Bloody Jack outside France, and the first-ever reissue of her Japanese-language version of Poupée De Cire Poupée De Son.
