Brigitte Bardot, dans sa Renault Floride

The 10 year love affair between the English rose Birkin and the French avant-garde unkempt artist was scandalous and charming at the same time. They were undoubtedly the most glamorous creative couple that took Europe by storm when their relationship blossomed in the late 1960s. Gainsbourg, who spoke through his album l’homme à tête de chou, was flawless in Birkin’s eyes, as she once said: “He was a great man. I was just pretty”. The couple was, in short, the embodiment of the bohemian lifestyle that emerged during the swinging sixties – vibrant, carefree and full of unexplored possibilities.

In 1969, the duo worked together on a song which was initially written for Gainsbourg’s 1967 love affair Brigitte Bardot. A self-proclaimed “jealous lover”, Birkin offered to sing Bardot’s part on the track after Bardot rejected it in fear that the erotic nature would cause issues in her new marriage.

The song, called ‘Je T’Aime’, is full of sexually explicit lyrics topped with Birkin’s backup vocals consisting of gasps and moans became instantly controversial. The track was condemned by the Vatican and banned from the radio in Britain and several other countries. In France, it was played in restaurants after 11pm where the couple frequently dined and was sold in plain wrappers like dirty magazines, to people over the age of 21.
