The original Sixties wild child with skinny limbs and long brown hair, whose love affair with the French icon Serge Gainsbourg electrified the world and resulted in the song Je t’aime moi non plus… Jane Birkin gained instant notoriety back then.

There is an exhilarating ripple to her wispy, flutey voice which has never matured.
