Brigitte Bardot: Career
built 642 days ago
This handsome, custom-packaged compilation of Brigitte Bardot's hits is a must-have for collectors. The stunning photograph on the front cover of this book-like hardbound slipcase ... contains no less than 17 full-color panel-size photographs of the actress and singer at various prime points in her career. The material is the most representative best-of, in that it ranges from her very first single, "La Madrague," and its requisite cheesy rock follow-up, "L'appareil a Sous," to the infamous Serge Gainsbourg-penned "Bonnie & Clyde," "Harley Davidson," and beyond, into the '70s with "La Fille de Paille." Many comparisons have been drawn between Françoise Hardy and Bardot. That is truly unfair to Hardy, who is a real singer. Bardot could not sing and her more savvy producers knew it and exploited that very thing.
