"Since his death (a heart attack on March 1991), Gainsbourg's music has reached
legendary stature in France. His lyrical brilliance in French has left an extraordinary
legacy. His music, always progressive, covered many styles : jazz, ballads, mambo,
lounge, reggae, pop (including adult contemporary pop, kitsch pop, yé-yé pop,
'80s pop, pop-art pop, prog pop, space-age pop, psychedelic pop, and erotic pop),
disco, calypso, Africana, bossa nova, and rock and roll.
He has gained a following in the English-speaking world with many non-mainstream
artists finding his arrangements highly influential".
