Paul Mauriat - Love Is Blue - A True Extended Cut of The Most Beautiful Song In The World

[@karenvanverdegem786]

My son was 19 years old when he left me in 2018. He loved listening to the classics on his record player. He was such an old soul and beautiful person. This was one he posted on a youth antiques page. He would post a song every day for other young people to enjoy and learn about. One of a kind. I appreciate these classics even more because of him. My angel 💔😢

I was five when I first heard this song . It was everywhere, even on The Dating Game where the woman is making her decision as to which bachelor to choose before the commercial break. Love Is Blue, no doubt, is the most beautiful, memorable, romantic and iconic song that Paul Mauriat ever composed. He composed other songs, but Love Is Blue is the song that he is most remembered for the most.

Only 69 here. 🤪 Apart from the string of hits by H Alpert and TJB, which I consider something of different animal, Love is Blue is the first "stand alone" instrumental hit that I remember in it's specific time and place. Not my all-time favorite (Classical Gas) but certainly a great instrumental piece that I still like. Definitely a romantic orchestral masterpiece.
