Lucille Starr - The French Song (1965) [Restored]

[@gamers_challenge]

This is my late father's favorite song 🎵 ❤️ he passed at home with cancer and this song brought him comfort

[@festidious2644]

As a Canadian who lived in North Bay for eleven years, I am very familiar with this song as well as her, Jolie Jacqueline. We had a steady diet of good French songs since we were so close to the Quebec border. That changed when we moved to Southern Ontario. My mother just died on December 4th, 2023 so I can identify with your feelings with regard to your dad. I never stop missing them. I hope that this music also brings you comfort as it did for him. There was also a novelty French song out around the same time called, Je Bois De L'eau Dans Mon Lit D'eau. It was basically about drinking water in my water bed and I remember it like it was yesterday. Take care.

My late husband romanicly played this song to me in our painful.but loving courting relationship, we managed to adventualy break out ties in other relationships and runaway and marry, unfortunately my husband died unexpectedly at just 47, we courted in the mid 1970's until early 1980's, we were so much in love, and now I hear beautiful ladles voice, I find tears falling...Broken heart, thank you Lucille Starr...❤

[@festidious2644]

I remember when I lived in North Bay back in 1965 this one being a hit song. I have always thought, as an English person, that the line, 'Je suis seule avec mes reves sur la montagne' was beautiful. I also remember her song, Jolie Jaqueline being played around that time too.

[@martinblom6506]

This was one of my mums favorites. She died Januari 1th this year. Love you mume

[@Wolfaway230]

I’m sorry for your loss ❤

[@lesteraizlewood8457]

I love Lucille singing this as much today as I did nearly 60 years ago. She was a singing treasure.

[@frankyeo9662]

Marvellous. Spelling rectified.

[@sheiladuplanty1637]

I only wish i could get the English lyrics. She has a beautiful voice. My late husband was french canadian, he would have told me the english words.

[@tonykaye8961]

💯 still awesome

[@festidious2644]

​@@sheiladuplanty1637 Here you go. Most of the English is here. There's one line that is not in the English. Je ne veux penser qu'a toi means, I don't want to think of anyone but you.. Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes Et que la nuit rencontre le jour Je suis seule avec mes rêves sur la montagne Une voix me rappelle toujours Écoute à ma porte, les chansons du vent M'rapelle les souvenirs de toi Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes Je suis seule, je ne veux penser qu'a toi Now when the sun says good-day to the mountains And the night says hello to the dawn I'm alone with my dreams on the hilltop I can still hear his voice though he's gone I hear from my door the love songs through the wind It brings back sweet memories of you Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes Je suis seule, je ne veux penser qu'a toi

[@bruceboome]

I haven't heard this since '65 when I toured with Lucille in South Africa. It sure brings back memories.

[@Violetforflowers144]

My grandfather loved this song 2.4.24 🕊

[@graceotoole2467]

This is one of my very favourite songs and version. Merci Lucille Starr.

[@andrelebel7148]

J'adorais cette chanson quand j'étais jeune et je l'aime encore aujourd'hui 50 ans plus tard. Lovely song. I'm glad I found Lucille on KZbin. She had many lovely songs.

[@festidious2644]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZnbn6CLia94p7c I lived in North Bay back then and I remember this one and Jolie Jaqueline.

[@allanandres9929]

My Grandfather just loved this song

[@kathymack3791]

Sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a talented singer. She and Bob were my next door neighbors in Panorama City, CA in the early 1960s. They were such nice people (although little Bobby was kind of a butthead). I remember Bob didn’t like The Beatles and when their movie, A Hard Day’s Night” was about to be released, he wanted to get us kids to picket it with signs that said “Stamp out The Beatles”. I’ve always thought Lucille was a wonderful singer. This song in particular has always stayed with me. One of the positive aspects of the internet is being able to find these old songs.

[@somejohndoe3004]

Thanks for the memories, much appreciated.

[@ClaricePearl]

This is the first song I learned on the guitar. I came across an autographed photo of Ms Starr in an antique shop today, and of course I had to have it. Beautiful song, beautiful voice and beautiful lady

[@waltwalt3330]

I am retired and live in Arizona. We have a number of Canadian snow birds that live close to us. We were invited to a small party at one of their houses and I heard this wonderful voice, and I mean wonderful, singing "Pick me up on your way Down" I am going to research her music and hope I can find more on KZbin. She is GREAT, right up there with Patsy Cline.

[@loizostheochari1509]

I really admire her voice it's like hearing a angel singing. This song is burn't into my memory and can not get it out of my mind. This one of her very best songs I ever heard.

[@sardroj]

I agree, the clear voice and the vibrating in her voice l love it, it's a newfoundsong and artist for me

[@James_Knott]

I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was a kid.

[@metavandermeer8106]

[@lenreadhead7343]

Just searched for this song after 60 years. Mom and Dad had the 45 and we kids played it until wearing it out.

[@jackfrechette1805]

A voice from heavan- beautiful!

[@NeilRoy]

This reminds me of both my mom and my dad. They divorced and she used to sing this a lot. I often wondered if she regretting divorcing him. I also sang this with my father in Quebec when i went to visit him. This also came out the year I was born. Ironically, it now reminds me a little of my wife now that she's gone (she died last year). Funny how life does that to you.

[@MahufaLeesa]

I am 62 I remember this song when I was 10 years old. I am part french part New Zealand maori. My sister and I were always drawn to things french. Family of 11 mostly teachers. Sister spoke flute french. I am learning. Palay vu vronsay

There s a obviously copied song called; t Kleine Café aan de Haven with composer claim by Dutch artist ; Pierre Kartner. A seemingly Dutch song but derived from the French Song composed in 1965 ; Quand le soleil ....

[@VideoFunForAll]

I totally disagree with that.

[@JoyAngelyn]

@@VideoFunForAll You need to do some research before replying; the French song was composed first in 1965 the melody of the Dutch song is very similar and at singers copyrightclaim about 10 years later. Do you ever read comments before replying?

[@VideoFunForAll]

@JoyAngelyn It s not similar at all. I guess my ears and yours are very different. Here is Piere Kartner's "Het Kleine Cafe aan de Haven", not even close: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2TOZXuZq6iCiZY
