"What makes a great deal of a difference between BRIGITTE BARDOT and other actresses who are into singing is that each and every song of BARDOT's was written for her, by the same people who were also her friends. The result is an incredible authenticity. BRIGITTE BARDOT loved to sing even more than she loved to act: she would spend whole nights in recording studios, then she would rush at dawn to be on time at the movies studios. She wrote in her recent Mémoires that she never felt tired when singing (while she grew tired of acting), and it sure shows when listening to her records.If you like different kinds of music, you'll love this CD even more: you'll find calypso, twist, pop, mambo, charleston, chanson... This CD is also great for people who are learning French: BARDOT has such a personal way to pronounce words, detaching them from each other, which makes it very easy to understand the lyrics. In a sociological and historical way, BRIGITTE BARDOT is what THE 50's and the 60's in France were all about. She is part of our collective memory. Buy this CD: you can't be disappointed !"
Harley Davidson. Need I say more?

"Brigitte Bardot, the blonde-haired international Sex symbol of the 1960's and beyond, orginated from France where it is possible to have a hugely successful recording career without being able to sing. And god bless the French for it, I reckon. But Brigitte, as was her style, pouts, purrs and moans her way through this collection of songs which spannes her recording career from the early 60's to the early 70's. And everything is done so seductively. Some of the songs on this album will be nothing more than background music, but when Serge Gainsbourg starts to get involved in this album, things really spice up. Songs like "Bonnie and Clyde" "Contact" "Je t'aime...moi non plus" and of course the absolute classic "Harley Davidson" are truly amazing. Other standout numbers include "Le soleil de ma vie" (done with that irresistable Sacha Distel) "Tu veux ou tu veux pas" and "Je danse donc je suis". If you need a huge fix of 1960's French music, then come to the Queen of French entertainment at the time, Brigitte, and her incorrigable lover, Serge."
