Serge Gainbourg was a pigmallion (sp?) first and foremost.

He was extremely talented and is considerated like one of the most talented composer and singer of the recent past in France. He dated the most beautiful women of his lifetime (Bardot, Birkin...) so I guess that yes he was extremely charming.
