Jane B  performed by  Jane Birkin  (1968)
Composed by Chopin-Gainsbourg
From: France
Recommended by delicado [profile] on Wednesday 5th February 2003

This song is living proof that whatever you try to do, if you execute it well, the rest can take care of itself. Serge didn't even bother writing a song (this is just an arrangement of Chopin's prelude in E minor). But the song is excellent, and stands up to (at least several hundred) repeated listens. There's a slow, jerky beat, and a heavy bassline. Birkin's delicate vocal works well with this backing, and the whole thing has a very hip feel.


available on CD - Master Serie Vol. 1 (Polygram France)

Other Versions: The English band 'Baby Birkin', who seem to have based their work around Jane Birkin, and this song, do a good, pretty straight version.
