"Les Fleur" is a song from 1971. It was performed by Minnie Riperton, written by her husband Richard Rudolph and Charles Stepney and was featured on the album Come To My Garden. In 2001, a cover of it was made by 4 Hero with Carina Andersson as the lead vocalist. It was later featured in a Baileys commercial and the chorus section is especially popular in advertising due to its building and lively nature - for instance recently in an advertisement for the BBC's Life in the Undergrowth wildlife documentary.
The cover version was also used in a video called The Future Of Gaming by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, which is listed as the winner in the Ambient Media category on the D&AD Showreel 2002.
The Danish artist Kenneth Bager has also made a cover version af this, in his track Fragment Seven "Les Fleurs" feat. Julee Cruise. "Les Fleurs" has been sampled by Jurassic 5 on "Thin Line", Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf on "Apple Juice Break," Gang Starr on "Jazz Music", Black Sheep on "Similak Child", and by the East Bay hardcore band, Please Inform the Captain This Is a Hijack, on "Robot Rampage in a Luxury World."
