This song was playing on the car radio on my way to church to get married. 11th Jan 1969

[@ecurbflow]

Driving the Coast Highway in California on a summer day listening to this song is absolute magic!!!

[@dondetmer2406]

Now that sounds like a perfect day, thanks for the thought.

[@r.c.anderson5632]

I completely agree! Malibu to Santa Barbara!

[@billpolakis7524]

SiriusXM 60s Gold played this masterpiece while I was north on the Great Highway between Sloat Boulevard and Lincoln Way along Ocean Beach in San Francisco yesterday afternoon

[@Huskrrrr]

Love the angelic background chorus, very popular in the 60s.

[@chriswillis6941]

I never tire of hearing this piece of music as it takes me back to the days of Radio Caroline North and South in the sixties, the days of my youth.

[@bredasheehy7073]

I have loved this tune for over fifty yrs so soothing ......breda sheehy from kildorrery North Cork ireland

[@arnostijlen]

Excellent instrumental. One of my all-time favorites and agree, in the same class as Love is Blue! It does something for the soul!!

[@jerryboucher5622]

If ever an instrumental classic needed to b extended this is the one.

[@stangohr]

That's for damn sure!!

[@VickiT-ow8xs]

I’ve always loved this instrumental!!

[@knockshinnoch1950]

One of the UK's Pirate Radio Stations used this as their theme. It is just so evocative of the groovy late 60s

[@davidjoy7654]

Yes indeed. Radio Caroline. Great music. Great Radio station.

[@Boulevardier1]

Love it

[@veg4ev]

Raymond and Orchestra "Soul Coaxing" and Paul Mauriat and Orchestra "Love is Blue" were the 2 most widely played instrumentals in their day! How sweet it is 2B French!

[@christopheretzwiler5635]

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF LATE MOM AND USED TO LISTEN TO THIS CKLW OUT OF DETROIT GREAT MEMORIES 👍 ❤🙏

[@090250]

Wonderful forgotten song.

[@brianwaite4552]

Reminds me of the pirate ships off the coast of engerland..used to play this , alot..

[@bronwynsearle2117]

Beautiful and relaxing 😌❤

[@vickipurton933]

Takes me back to my youth here in London..Radio Caroline used this on their station...Magical music.!..❤

[@daveyvane9431]

Reminds me of shopping at westland with my Mother. This song was played, on their PA and for some reason I can relive the store setting. I was 10 yrs old.

[@norbertkrestyn1098]

Fünf volle Jahre hat es durch zufall gedauert, bis ich herausgefunden habe, wie dieses tolle Stück heißt. Ich liebe diese melodie❤

[@steved2286]

One of my favorite Instrumentals of all time......Rates right up there with "Love Is Blue" and "The Disadvantages Of You". Bert Kaempfert & Al Hirt & The Ventures had dozens of fantastic Instrumentals as well. I don't think Instrumentals get the air time they deserve, do you? Good job on the audio quality here with the extended version. Great clarity and the speed was correct as well.

[@robertbritton9674]

Don't forget winter's love!

[@brendahughes1285]

Absolutely!! I hadn't heard this in almost 40 years, heard one day while driving and had to pull over!! Wrote down the name of tune and swore I was gonna find and add to my Playlist! Huge trigger song for sooo many great memories!

[@robhaunui3343]

One of the greatest instrumentals of all time,and one that i have loved for 50 years.So impressed with this extended version that you've created - yet again,well done.

[@mosogotam]

Rob....great thanks to you...50 years??? Yikes!!

[@robhaunui3343]

@@mosogotam Yep,50 years ! Hahaha,true though,i was young,but definately remember it,and listening to all those great 60s sounds.

[@jerryboucher5622]

50 years strong and this baby just keeps sounding sweeter and sweeter.

[@bobplumlee3916]

Actually the ( Greatest instrumental of all time ) !

[@calvinbealer7264]

Classic Gold 🥇 from the Summer of 1968.

[@bryanpalmer9660]

Have loved this 💎 since childhood in the late 60s and never tire of listening to it even now-some songs/tunes suit an extended mix some don't,this one does thanks for the work much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2023

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

Still wonderful.

[@jeankavanagh1485]

Gorgeous sad sound

[@giltracy505]

Great music,thank you!!!!!!

[@r.c.anderson5632]

Amazing recording ... and you did it justice! Thank you!

[@tonyallen6510]

This is so beautiful

[@QuentinQuatermass]

I've loved this song since I first heard it early 1968 on Armed Forces radio. Thank you for taking the time to make it even better today, Mosogotam! You are the ultimate stretch-meister! Also a master of selection of the right tunes to perform your magic upon! This one is a real Halloween treat.

[@mosogotam]

Quentin...thanks so much for your very kind words.......and thanks for your service!

[@veg4ev]

Oh! I can so imagine with that beautiful ocean view!

[@mariz00785]

Bellísima melodía que me hace recordar momentos especiales de mi infancia con mis hermanos mi mamá y mi papá. El lugar donde vivía y lindos recuerdos 🤗😁

[@motownman1953]

Fantastic tune. Been my ringtone on my phone all year.

[@andrewunjo158]

CFCA 105.3 Kitchener Ontario was the 'beautiful music' station at that time and my 7 year old self loved this piece. Thought it was lost forever!

[@texassoul]

Haven't heard this song in forever!! Thanks for the stretch.

[@mosogotam]

I played it on the show last night...you're welcome, Mike!

[@stangohr]

OMG, John, thanks SO much for making this beautiful classic even a wee bit better! As at least one other commented, if any song deserved a stretch, it's this one! As well, like others, had this gem stuck in my head for 50 years! SO great to finally find it! Thanks, again!

[@raystewart6524]

When I used to do the late night prog on BFBS Belize..I used this track as my outro close down music..very atmospheric track..

[@mosogotam]

Great choice, Ray!!

[@Mediawatcher2023]

@raysterwart16524 A radio announcer by the name of Cliff Thompson on Community radio station 2NUR FM use this as an intro theme and for the outro he used the apollo 100's version

[@Damiano54]

On the Music forum I frequent, this instrumental is often cited as people's favorite. I had forgotten it, unfortunately, but it is a wonderful record and your stretch prolongs the enjoyment. Thanks !

[@mosogotam]

Thank YOU, Damiano!!!!

[@jerryboucher5622]

Mauriat s Love is blue got all the attention but this baby is the grand prize winner in my book.

[@mosogotam]

Many thanks, Graham!!!

[@slyspy9819]

Dude you've done it again , i commend you on your choice !

[@stuart8663]

Almost an anthem for the entire sixties, John? Upbeat in the face of crisis.

[@mosogotam]

You got it, Stu!!

[@derekdauchan2741]

Exactly what I needed today ! Thank you so much ! Makes me want to listen to the great James Last Orchestra.

[@mosogotam]

You're very welcome, Derek...thank YOU!

[@michaeldomino8879]

Beautiful instrumental. Thanks for introducing me to this gem!

[@mosogotam]

You're very welcome, Michael!!

Raymond Looks so debonair with that cigarette in his hand, just another classy Frenchman

[@johnfitzpatrick8191]

I was never really into music until I turned 16 and I started to go to work I worked in Berners Street off Oxford Street 10 minutes walk to Langham Place where all the radio stations used to be based radio 1 radio 2 etc and I remember listening to this piece of music on the Jimmy young programme the title of the song Always stuck in my head but for some reason never bought even though HMV was only up the road towards marble arch which again was only a bus ride for me as I lived in Battersea at the time and used to get the 137 bus home years went by when I get then got my first music where I could download music off a website called tubidy and I was astounded when it was the same song that I remember listening to many years ago and it's still sounded wonderful even after all the years of not buying the record and now I I like a lot of instrumental music especially TV themes and film themes and obviously other instrumentals especially film and TV themes some people think I have a weird tasting music but when you're 58 years old and you are bought up listening to music you'd think that I would have liked it but I didn't until I heard this one piece of music and I'm very very glad to my parents god bless them I love music now

[@roccom5988]

Lest not 4get the other Frenchmen: Claude Debussy and Erik Satie🎶🎵🎺🎻📯🎹

[@kennethdrewary1094]

Only reached number 40, what were the others like then?

[@mrcheese5044]

Boy, I sure do hope the resurrected and combined souls of dead soldiers don't hijack Air Force One and fly around the United States dropping off supernatural payloads onto different monuments... that sure would be crazy.
