His two last albums are great adult leanback mediterreanean pop.
Maybe "grown up" is a better expression than "adult". ♥
I hadn't Axe, but this is hilarious!

Seems to be ac over, can't find original stuff. But you get an expression.
Must rush home now, there is stuff to do with all this VAN stuff.
Bananas, oh dear.
she's just a simple, transexual, banana sales-person, I think you're reading into it far too much.
Speaking of 60s french pop dities, i picked up this a few years back.

Ah oui, Bardot.
There is a French TV special from the late 60s, " An evening with Brigitte Bardot" or something. Great watch, if you ever have the chance to catch it. Completely camp. Some outtakes can be found on youtube, if you are lucky. For example her duet "Comic Strip" with "Sucettes" Gainsbourg in a comic setting.
Or her "masterpiece" "Harley Davidson". Also from this tv special, if I am not wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IOZ0NbrVs
Great costumes.
Just one last thing about old Henri Salvador. He had a comeback when he was over 80 with his last two albums "Chambre avec vue (2000)" and Ma Chère Et Tendre (2003). Really worth checking them out, when there is the opportunity.
Thanks to this thread I learned that he released an other album (Révérence, 2006) before he died in 2008. Obviously it has a lot of Brazilian influences and Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil contributed to it. Will try to get in my lunch break. You live and learn.
