Biography
Jean-Claude Vannier (born 1943) is a French musician, composer and arranger. Considering the amount of French artists he worked for from the early 1960s onwards, it was inevitable that he would work with Serge Gainsbourg. Starting in 1969 they collaborated on a number of soundtracks such as Slogan, La Horse, Cannabis, Les Chemins De Katmandou and Sex Shop. Vannier also produced, arranged and conducted Gaisnbourg's 1971 album Histoire De Melody Nelson.
