Short story:

Gang leaders and multiple murderers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are ambushed and killed by a posse of four Texas police officers on a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, USA. Their outlaw lives and crimes will be glamourised as time goes by and will inspire several songs. Georgie Fame's The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde was a UK No1 hit in 1967, and Merle Haggard's identically-named but entirely different 1968 composition The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde also became popular. Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot recorded Gainsbourg's Bonnie And Clyde, and Mel Torme recorded A Day In The Life Of Bonnie And Clyde.
