Heather Batchen was a British girl staying in Singapore. She teamed up with some British servicemen to form Heather with The Diamond Four. The 1966 SP with Day-dreaming (the version featured here) and If we are only friends was well received. Heather was later backed by The Thunderbirds. They did a re-make of Day-dreaming. Heather’s interpretation of Love is blue (I’amour est bleu) was splendid. Her other more popular hits were: I’ll never be the same, We two forever shall be one, Nobody’s child, Mr. tambourine man. Heather married Harvey Fitzgerald, vocalist and rhythm guitarist of The Thunderbirds.
thank you - I've been trying to find out more about this singer since I discovered this song a couple of days ago. Lovely strong clear voice and a great version of this song
I'm 53 and never knew this song had lyrics to it. All my life I only heard the instrumental version and always loved it, but this is awesome, love it too! 👍🙌
Listen to Claudine longett version. She released it in 1965, our birth year or at least mine. anyways its so beautiful and angelic.. ua-cam.com/video/Rby89j-Wb-k/v-deo.html
When I was 6 years old during my preschool, we danced to this song as part of school fair. Ever since I've been longing for this song but didn't know the song title. Now I'm 33 years old and while riding a cab, this played on the radio. Thanks to Shazam! finally knew the song title and glad to relive childhood years. Oh what fun it was.
My Dear Ol" Dad passed 12-05-19 and I have his Santo & Johnny LP of Love Is Blue and it is instrumental. LOVE IT! I just heard Heather sing Love is Blue and Love It Too! Love Is Blue!
Черт возьми!! Как красиво! Прекрасный голос у этой женщины! И ритм и мелодичность,и смысл этой красивой песни. Браво! Сейчас так никто не может.Все в прошлом. Очень жаль. Деградируем.
A lovely song beautifully sung here. Probably the best english language version there is here. The french version by Vicki Leandros is very nice too. Why are songs not written like this anymore??
Yes i agree the devolution of our species seems to be accelerating,Its seemingly beyond our ability to curb.All we can do ,is be the best humans possible and continue to ROCK ON. Peace.
Heather version was the first I heard I was impresed when I heared I probably was 6 years old and remember we used to live in a 6 floor apartment by the second busy avenue in mexico city my room was infront of a big cristal that goes direct to the avenue so the moonlight and the almust any lights from cars that pass throw this avenue at probably 3 or 4 am and the old radio that by night capt the frequency of us and europe was the first time I heard her sweet voice and the meaning of this song came on my remindings forever
Conoscevo questa canzone incisa da altri artisti ma questa versione era per me sconosciuta. Ed e' la migliore! Bravissima lei e grandiosa l orchestra che l accompagna!
A magnificent "crystalline" voice moreover she sings perfectly in tune. The melody is very beautiful. It is much more beautiful than all the "ersatz" ('pale imitation) which could be produced in French. Undoubtedly there was a care of artistic quality a requirement for perfection that we no longer find today: Bravo! And thank you!
Une voix magnifique "cristalline" de plus elle chante parfaitement juste. La mélodie est très belle. C'est bien plus beau que tous les "ersatz" ('pâle imitation) qui ont pu être produit en français. Incontestablement il y avait un soin de qualité artistique une exigence de perfection que l'on ne retrouve plus aujourd'hui: Bravo! Et Merci!
By far the best version of the song, it needs a female voice. Captures the essence of that time and place. 2023 im listening.
... one of the few ENGLISH female vocalists.
Somebody listening in 2024 besides me?
Yep..
Ja! 10. März 2024
Yep... one of my favorites, and Heather sings it so well.
March 15, 2024.
Every so often.. I been listening to it since 1968

Finally, I Always Wanted To Know Who She Was.

I never knew she existed until 5 minutes ago and there is next to no information about her, so thank you. 🇦🇺🦘

All Instrumental songs have lyrics required for music protection.Whether the musical hit has lyrics in it or not.

I heard this band and singer when I was in RAF, in Singapore.... 1968..bring back the 1960s...
I'm still enjoying it in 2021. This is the best version of this song. She has such a beautiful voice!
ささ
I'm a bit perplexed...so many versions..... but did you listen to this one? ua-cam.com/video/co1uKRqu6mw/v-deo.html
It's just a bit annoying that it's an English version. The song just sounds nicer in French...
Heather has a very beautiful voice. It is really the best version of an unforgettable song ! 😊
best english version, specially because of that guitar
❤️ When music was simply beautiful.
And singers used their own voices and not some computer-aided synthesizer for singers who can't hold a tune.
@@briane173 and all these years later, her voice has not left her. ❤️
Such a strong, clear voice. The best English version of this song that I've heard.
Same here: just gorgeous & just now heard it = am 58!
Marty Robbins would disagree
Agreed,this was the version playing in the series "Millennium" in the psychopath episode!!
Johnny Mathis.
Best non-English version?
This is the version I've been looking for. I remember this as a child in the 1960's. Thanks.

Beautiful voice ❤️👍👌from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I'm so hooked on this song and this version.
It's a time portal to the past.🙂😘😍
初めて拝聴しました。とても艶のある力強い歌声を有難う御座います。この曲は青春の懐かしい思い出の一曲です。遥か高校２年生の秋。想いを寄せた女生徒に告白さえ出来ない内気で繊細な青年。にもかかわらずメンバーを募り文化祭でこの曲をトランペット演奏しました。恋は遠い日の花火🎇🎺🎶💧
Love how Heather ends the song. Very psychedelic ✌️
My Dear Ol" Dad passed 12-05-19 and I have his Santo & Johnny LP of Love Is Blue and it is instrumental. LOVE IT! I just heard Heather sing Love is Blue and Love It Too! Love Is Blue!
A great song. I'm sure your dad loved it.
Condolences, brother
Thanks for posting.I have not heard this for over 50 years,,a much more simple time. What a lovely voice to go with an incredible arrangement.
I've heard this song 1st when I was 13 yrs old back in 1968. Today 11 Jan 20, is the 1st time I've heard the words with the song. Beautiful.♥️✌🇺🇸
WOW that amazing enjoy!
Gorgeous voice. Memories of a far gentler time...at least for me. How I miss the simple civility of pure and understandable, non-violent music.
I listen to this every day.
January 1st, 2021 :
This song is still adorable to listen to. I still love it. ❤️❤️
Anyone ?
Yes indeed. But then, Heather is my cousin. So….😉
Heather has a great voice and it flows so well in this song. Thanks for sharing! This is a hard to find and pricey 45 vinyl.
I didn't know there was a version besides Paul Mauriat. I'm glad to discover this version.
I have never heard of heather but she does a great version of this beautiful song... song has great memories from late 60s for me
Still listening in2022 and enjoying it.
tolle Version eines wunderschönen Songs
Wow, me & my cat enjoyed listening to this music song & it always keeps my cat's ears up like an owl 🦉LOL. Awesome! 😍😻
Never herd of her ( them ) her voices just so clear..! Awesome..!
Her voice is what I'd always imagined would match a lovely orchestral performance of the piece.
Very inspired version, everything just comes together. Heather's voice is clear, and the Thunderbirds give the music drive.
Beautiful 😍
Wow, simply excellent. Best vocals, great arrangement and musicianship. Thank you for posting
Great garage beat version
Never heard this one before
Thanks for sharing
Excellent Version!
Wow.. The more I look the more I find. Amazing this is simply a perfect song..
Loved this song when I first heard it back in 1968 as a kid on the playground.
❤
Harika bir tını 🎉teşekkürler 💐🌺😘😘
A clear and plaintive rendition of a superbly melodic song, which surely is the epitome of sunshine pop. This must be the best version by some way.
Agree..this is the best English version.. beautifully sung by Heather..simple song with very soothing voice..
I thing so.
The lyrics are so simple. Yet it sums up so perfectly how I felt about my ex-fiancee. Every time I hear this song I feel a bit emotional.
Черт возьми!! Как красиво! Прекрасный голос у этой женщины! И ритм и мелодичность,и смысл этой красивой песни. Браво!
Сейчас так никто не может.Все в прошлом. Очень жаль. Деградируем.
Never heard this version but WOW blown away with it. She has such a great voice. I remember hearing the original from Vicky Leandross in the 60`s
For me this is the best version! 😍
Best vocal version yes indeed
Beloved song composition like no other. Love knowing the words to this song, very good singer!!
Wonderful angelic voice,.Heather
I’m listening to this lovely sad song on 2023
One of those timeless classics....we are the lucky ones!!!! many thx for making available
🎼🎙🎤🙏👏👏👏👏Voice of ANGEL! 🎼🎙🙏👏🎶
Ok??Goodby and tank you"🙏👍👏👏
Beautiful, clear voice.
End of year 2020 & this song still .. 👌👌👌👌👌
I remember my Dad from this version as I remember it playing via the radio in his stereo system while eating breakfast in the 60s
A super voice.
59 I am and just found this! Beautiful voice and great arrangement!
Love the guitars on this version. The first record I ever got for my birthday was the main hit by Paul Mauriat in 1968 on my 7th birthday.
We're the same age, then, and I remember the song and its fantastic melody!
9 years old myself!
.
so many versions of classic - love is blue. this is good
Just beautiful
This song is so beautiful!! thanks for the post
A lovely song beautifully sung here. Probably the best english language version there is here. The french version by Vicki Leandros is very nice too. Why are songs not written like this anymore??
There are tons.
Really Where? Touch my "nae nae" that great song of garbage?
RobotWookiee good joke
Check out the version by The Dells.
The best english version is the Sylvye Vartan version
my favorite version of love is blue
Beautiful 2024 and beyond
Ingat lagu ini di salah satu radio saat penutupan di jakarta, entah lupa nama radio apa, love is blue instrumental, dulu sudah lama...
I've always loved this song..yr 2023
The reason this kind of music is not written anymore is because music is a reflection of society and we are in decline
Hard to disagree with that.

Look up future shock to perhaps frame this topic
THANK YOU! I haven't heard this in about 50 years!! I love this record!
Someone is listening in 2022. Echo from my childhood.
Lovely song with beautiful beats .....!

Never knew this had lyrics. I've only heard the instrumental version my whole life.
Here's another version of it with lyrics.

Слушаю в 2023.
Бесподобная музыка и голос
Спасибо
I would have loved to have heard Mariska Veres and the Shocking Blue perform this...❤
I've just heard this on a compilation video. It took me ages and a lot of searching to find this superb song and singer.
I found it in about 30 seconds using this called the internet.
Love is blue with vocals.
Mnis dan indah skli yaa
Лучшее исполнение песни
Heather version was the first I heard I was impresed when I heared I probably was 6 years old and remember we used to live in a 6 floor apartment by the second busy avenue in mexico city my room was infront of a big cristal that goes direct to the avenue so the moonlight and the almust any lights from cars that pass throw this avenue at probably 3 or 4 am and the old radio that by night capt the frequency of us and europe was the first time I heard her sweet voice and the meaning of this song came on my remindings forever
What a gem ! I love this song.
Yes now I am here, but for a moment this song seemed to transport me back in time to a boutique shop that I frequently visited as a 10-year-old
Conoscevo questa canzone incisa da altri artisti ma questa versione era per me sconosciuta. Ed e' la migliore! Bravissima lei e grandiosa l orchestra che l accompagna!
The Thunderbirds!
What a fab song. There's also wonderful _new_ songs that use the latest technology to make sounds that get your feet tapping. Stay happy everyone.
Somebody listening in 2020..?
This is the first time hearing Heather, many singers , many times , still love the Instrumental version

Yes Dear, ARE YOU?
This song is so heartfelt. I recall listening to it in Pakistan as a young lad, and it hasn't lost it's romanticism.
I'm too young to have heard this when it first out, but better late than never! Gorgeous song!
