Serge Gainsbourg.....Love On the Beat


Returning once again to Serge Gainsbourg, talented poet, singer, composer and film maker,
I was keen to showcase one of his performances from his 1986 Casino de Paris Concert. 
In fact there were quite a few interesting concerts and performances in Paris during the late
1980's that I've only just been discovering on youtube.
And yes, sure in 1986 he looks a little disheveled here before he's even started the performance.
And his physical decline was there for all to see. But I think his home French fans loved his Devil
may care attitude.
And so this song from The Casino de Paris is titled 'Love On the Beat' from 1985 which definitely
has that classic big sound from the 80's.
