Just discovered what a talented songwriter he was, having heard tonight's
BBC-R2 documentary on him and then checking out a load of his songs
(Elisa, Couleur Cafe etc. etc. etc) on Youtube

and to think all I knew about him was Je t'aime

didn't even know he wrote Poupée de cire, poupée de son!

He sometimes used melodies from classical music.  Like for _Babe Alone in
