Amoeba Music

By J Poet

France Gall is a legendary French pop star who transformed herself from a sexy cartoon to a sophisticated singer of adult themed pop songs. After a career as a teenybopper in the 60s crowned by two giant hits Serge Gainsbourg wrote for her – the Eurovision Song Contest winner "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" and the innuendo drenched "Les Sucettes" – Gall quit the music business. In 1974, after meeting and marrying songwriter and producer Michel Berger, she resumed her career and became a beloved figure in the world of chanson. When Berger died suddenly in 1992, Gall moved to Los Angeles and has been semi-retired ever since, appearing only at special events and finally moving to Senegal in 2000.
