In 1967 Serge Gainsburg had a brief but rather passionate affair with film icon Brigitte Bardot, which resulted in an incredible collaboration. They recorded an album and though the title song was banned in several countries, it became a big hit in 1969, in the year of erotica. It was also a great source of inspiration for musicians sensitive enough to this topic, and numerous big hits were written afterwards. I am going to select the best ones this evening, such as James Brown’s jazzoid funky Sex Machine, Louie Vega’s classical piece Jungle Fever and I will also include some contemporary songs.
