"Les Fleur" is a song from 1971. It was performed by Minnie Riperton, written by her husband Richard Rudolph & Charles Stepney and was featured on the album "Come To My Garden." In 2001, a cover of it was made by 4hero 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 original version is also used in the H&M spring 2008 commercial.

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 Fleur" feat. Julee Cruise."Les Fleur" 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."

American jazz Pianist Ramsey Lewis has also covered this version
