Much to discover in this

"*This is a complete 3-disc chronological collection of Gall's 60's work. For some reason, the track listing above is for one of her albums from the 70's and should be ignored.



If you haven't heard anything of hers from the Ye-Ye period before - or only a handful of songs - you might want to get a smaller compilation first.

France Gall is only a decent singer - ok by pop standards, I guess - at this point in her career, but had some excellent material penned for her, mostly by her father and Serge Gainsbourg. The songs are catchy and mostly of a jazz or vaudeville sound. I especially like the fact that understanding French is really not really necessary for enjoyment.



If you do know some French though, all the better. Oddly, part of the appeal is that her writers had her singing with a contrived depth and wisdom about life not quite fitting of a teenager. Enter Gainsbourg, whose tongue-in-cheek lyrics often have her unwittingly making fun of herself as a pop idol with little idea of what she is talking about."
THE BEGINNING OF HER MUSICAL ADVENTURE WITH HER HUSBAND
ALAIN ROBERT | ST-HUBERT,QUEBEC | 10/17/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"FRANCE's second career started with this wonderful record in which she displayed her considerable charm singing the songs of her husband MICHEL BERGER.Along with TOUT POUR LA MUSIQUE, it remains her best.You will notice that all the songs deal with the building of a love relationship.Gone was the teenager who sang her father's songs and also GAINSBOURG's melodic delights.If you want only one original from that singer this is the one.For a compilation,go to LES ANNEES MUSIQUE available in one or two cd,the double being of course more substantial"
