R.I.P. Jane Birkin

Postby John » Sun Jul 16, 2023 1:23 pm

Jane Birkin has died at the age of 76. She was found dead at her home. She has had health problems in recent years, but no reason for her death has been announced.

I bought this single when it came out.

R.I.P.

The same song was recorded with Brigitte Bardot in 1967 but her then husband objected to the song being released. It was finally released in 1986.
Meantime the re-recording with Jane BIrkin in 1969 became a hit twice, upon original release in 1969 and re-release in 1974.

I have heard the Bardot version, but it's not as good.
