Brigitte Bardot, the biggest international film star ever to come out of France, recorded almost 70 songs between 1962 and 1982. They mightn't have eclipsed her film work, but they added to her status as the ultimate screen goddess - a mysterious, fatally attractive but quintessentially lonely figure who combined blatant sexuality and vulnerability to devastating effect.Bardot's records are a strange bunch, and none stranger than "Harley-Davidson" - the notoriously kitsch 1968 single for which she remains best known as a recording artist. Exotic to a fault, her output mightn't be in the Grammy nomination class, but it's as much of the B.B. myth as any of her most provocative film roles. In France, there's a huge collector's market for Bardot's records, which has sent prices soaring in recent years; and in Britain, interest in these intriguing items is increasing all the time.
