Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson Artist_Urban Volcano Sounds It was a fortuitous momentIt's safe to say that Serge Gainsbourg wouldn't have fared well post #metoo and Operation Yew Tree. This 1971 LP was a concept album about a middle aged man running his Rolls Royce into a teenage girl who he later seduced. It was probably less romantic when Stuart Hall did this kind of thing because Gainsbourg had a gallic flair for words and music that took him between folk, easy listening a proto hip hop on an album often considered his masterpiece.
