Lucien Ginsburg are you still dancing with a Gipsy Woman...

O.D.B was listening Woody Guthrie while he was on crack ?
Muddy Waters was making love while listening to Franz Listz?
I have no idea, but what is pretty sure is musicians have their own background, their own food taste, taste in women or man and music influences .


Lucien Ginsburg learned how to play the piano at age 9, even though he only really started to play in bars and café when he was thirty. His father attended Petrograd and Moscow's conservatories . If you were walking in Rue de Chine in the 20th of Paris in the mid 1930's, you probably could've heard some tunes that you would hear another 30 years late . Classical music has invaded Gainsbourg's mind forever. In the following songs, you can clearly see where he's drawn his inspiration. Listen carefully.
