Cargo Culte

I must say that Gainsbourg and his arranger, Jean-Claude Vannier, have developed there such a sophisticated and unique atmosphere that it would have been surprising not to find countless covers and tributes.
As usual some stand out, here are the ones I’m listening to in my Rolls Royce…
