From Discogs: Born Robert Allen in Basildon, Essex, he was a key member of the legendary Basildon set. He started off in 1977 playing guitar in The Vandals with Alison Moyet, then became a member of The Plan featuring Vince Clarke on guitar. He and Vince were also in French Look with Martin L. Gore. In 1982, he recorded The Face of Dorian Gray, as Robert Marlow.

From Kate Bollinger: I love Jacques Dutronc and wanted to sing this song for a while," says Bollinger. "The band sounds so classic and sophisticated, but the lyrics are silly. Normally I like for cover songs to stray far from the original, but I felt differently here. I wanted to stay pretty true to the Jacques version."
