Gainsbourg began his career as a lyricist and composer for other artists before emerging as a singer in 1958 with the hit "Bonnie and Clyde". His musical style was an eclectic mix of chanson française, jazz, rock, and blues, influenced by artists such as Charles Aznavour and Elvis Presley. Among his most famous songs are "Je t'aime... moi non plus", "La Javanaise", and "Histoire de Melody Nelson". Gainsbourg collaborated with numerous female artists, including Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, and Juliette Gréco.
