Who are the heavy hitters of Radio Oh la la? Serge Gainsbourg and many artists for whom he has written songs, including Brigitte Bardot, France Gall and his wife, Jane Birkin. Besides Gainsbourg, the boys are represented by Jacques Dutronc, Charles Aznavour and Claude Nougaro to name but a few. The FAQ and archive are awaiting their new buttons. New music from Colette Renard, April March and Jeanne Moreau has been added. Listen for the new jingles made by yours truly!

Radio Oh-la-la brings you French music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, with new music being added every week. Sing along to Dalida, sleaze along to Serge Gainsbourg, or just tune in while you’re working like I do.

After years of spinning music at various radio stations in Montréal as well as singles in my living room, it was time to go on line. Truth is, my Dutch friends got fed up of me monopolising their stereos at parties, so something had to be done, and that something became Radio Oh-la-la.

My best friend received a picture book of singer Dalida as a kitschy gift back in our student days. At every party she hosted, everyone would pick it up and leaf through it, and go “wow, look at that!” and “she had so many hits!”, albeit with much sarcasm. When I went to Paris this summer I stayed very close to the Montmartre cemetery. When I read the list of ‘guests’, I saw that Dalida was listed as being close to the toilets. Her grave is a bright beacon in the cemetery and by far the least tacky.
