I was 6 years old when I first heard this and begged and pleaded for my Mom to let me buy this record. It was my very first 45 non-kid record. Still, 54 years later, this song is amazing and gives me the same feeling!

This is a great example of TV in it's prime. A high quality variety show that was live from New York with time and effort put into an enjoyable performance.
Would be to expensive to have the great music and variety shows of the past. Instead we have stupid reality & cop shows. Glad I grew up in a time we had quality and less channels.
Paul Muriat is remembered and acclaimed. Look at all those beautiful dancers. Who remembers them? 'People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame...Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.' Such is life 'On Broadway.'
I remember hearing this song when I was a child, and I would keep humming it or playing it in my head without realizing it. It would be years later before I would finally discover the title of this song - now I can't stop playing it! This song was a number 1 hit in the U.S. and Canada for FIVE weeks in 1968!! Paul Mauriat was a genius!
I was a Senior in high school when this piece became popular. Now, all these years later, I love it as if it just became popular. Class of '68, I hope you're still going strong!!
Sally, I was also a junior in high school at that time. I recommended a choral version of this song (with lyrics) to my choir teacher. She actually found a great SATB version for our A Cappella choir, which was enjoyed by all.
I don't think he or the other musicians were actually playing. Music was recorded and they went through the motions. Not Millie-Vanilli though. Muriat actually played this music for the recording.
I believe the main instruments/vocals on that particular show were required to be live. I can't vouch for this particular song but most artists I've seen definitely have different vocals from their studio recordings. @@vinnymurrell5711
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to the summer of 1968 sitting in the back seat of my dad's metallic blue Cadillac convertible (top down), with my Mom and Dad (pre-divorce) in the front seat on our way to the Kansas City Plaza, with this song playing through the car's stereo complete with back seat "reverb speaker". A time and a song I hold dear to me.
As I can recall, the first time hearing this particular song was August 1972 , driving along the Pacific Coast Highway with my parents past the Hearst Castle. I was 9 at the time .There was a lot of great music back then on the radio.
Growing up in the 60's, Ed Sullivan's Show was top notch second to none. You brought so much excitement and joy to countless viewers. I could never forget your friend Topo Gigio. The way he laughed after you used to rub his ear was so cute. R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan.
One of the GREATEST instrumentals ever! This was at a time when tv was worth watching with clean and wholesome family entertainment every night unlike today. I also LOVE the choreography with this song by these dancers. Claudine Longet had a minor hit with her singing of this song in French and English. RIP Paul Mauriat and thanks for the cherished memories of your timeless classic song. 😎

A great observation! Yes, a turbulent year, and nearing the end of a turbulent decade culturally, politically and musically. This helps us appreciate the appeal of this song, and the retro performance.
Back in the mid-1960’s my father, now deceased, had a car stereo shop. I learned to appreciate quality music. I played every tape that came into our shop. As a result my musical interests are very diverse, as were the popular tunes of that period.
We listened to so many styles of music back then that I was flabbergasted when I discovered there are people who listen to only one type of music. They're missing out on so much.
Look at Paul Mauriat's face! He's totally delighted with this exceptional performance accompanying his work. The musician is in seventh heaven. Check his grin! Barely contained! (1:57) Goodness love him! :)
I sure really truly honestly do love the music 🎶 🎵 of this talented guy. I sure really truly honestly am so very sorry to hear that he died . May you rip, your family, friends, co-workers, fans all over the world 🌎 miss you so very much. May God watch over you always. You're remembered for your greatest talent no matter what the music was . You sure really truly honestly won't never ever be forgotten never ever.
I've been watching this video regularly for the last few months. I was looking for other Paul Mauriat performances of love is Blue, after the original I bookmarked disappeared from You Tube. This performance by him and the dancers blew me away. It's so perfect. I love it love it love it. The dancers in silhouette and in those period costumes perfectly suits the harpsichord music. The dancers nodding with those black head pieces is amazing too and the ladies doing the head movements right up close to him, is kind of funny but amazing too. Hope the choreographer got an award for this. By the way, I can do the head twisting movement they do at 1:20 and have always been able to do that since I was a kid, which always surprised my parents how I could do that. 😁
This song reminds of the mid winter of 1968 when my mother was recovering from a mild heart attack in early February of that year. I was 14 at the time and this song would be playing in restaurant and pizza parlor jukeboxes. It was a breath of fresh air being just an instrumental song and it made me use my imagination as to what the song meant in regards to love. The song brightened up the winter era with its frigid temps and 5pm sunsets.
We used to have such great Big Orchestras like Mauriat, Simon Park, Montavanni, Bert Kamfert back then....and now we don't....at least those in the know, know what to find and listen to like this sublime piece....
I was 6 when this was released it always brings me to My Happy Childhood during the 60's. I just turned 60's and now fills me with Nostalgia for a time for days long gone.
""L'amour est bleu" (French pronunciation: [lamuʁ ɛ blø]; "Love Is Blue") is a song whose music was composed by André Popp, and whose lyrics were written by Pierre Cour, in 1967. Bryan Blackburn later wrote English-language lyrics for it. First performed in French by Greek singer Vicky Leandros (appearing as Vicky) as the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967, it has since been recorded by many other musicians, most notably French orchestra leader Paul Mauriat, whose familiar instrumental version (recorded in late 1967) became the only number-one hit by a French lead artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in America."

Huge no. 1 song for 5 weeks in early 1968. It’s nice to know beautiful instrumentals could still be huge hits during the psychedelic 60s, especially late in the decade. Billboard listed it as the number 2 record of the year only behind Beatles Hey Jude.
62 sene önce sabahleyin ilk okula giderken o zamanlar 6 yaşında idim…televizyonumuz yoktu her sabah radyodan haber bülteni öncesi Paul Mauriat orkestrasından bu muhteşem melodileri dinlerdim…ona tanrıdan, cennetten bir köşe diliyorum 🙏🩷
What a great production! Beautifully choreographed, and as striking visually as it is musically. Love the transition from black and white silhouettes to fully lighted dancers, all performing in a design limited to primary colors -- piano is yellow, gowns are red, and love is blue. Thanks for posting!
I was 6 years old when I first heard this and begged and pleaded for my Mom to let me buy this record. It was my very first 45 non-kid record. Still, 54 years later, this song is amazing and gives me the same feeling!
I play this song on the piano for several of our nursing homes every month. They love the older tunes!
Me too...
I was ten and just about wore out the 45 record. Stunning song. All the best .
I was a year up on you when this tune came out in 1968 and as yourself, feel the same way.
So much different than today...

I miss the days when instrumentals like this and Classical Gas were on the Pop charts and playing over the radio.
And to think this masterpiece came out during the era of Rock & Roll. And reached the top of the charts. Shows how we appreciated ALL kinds of music.
It was the #2 song for 1968.
this song could not have come out BUT FOR rock and roll. My God, you people
Exactly...1950s-1970s produced the best portfolio of music in world history. Something that will never be repeated.
@@uy7munirthe hell is your problem?? 😊

I still find good music in movie soundtracks. A Beautiful Mind and Interstellar come to mind. 🎵 🎶

Great to hear a harpsichord in popular music.
I thought he was playing a spinet.

Its called practice practice practice until you get it right, over and over again.
But, when they’re at the piano they resemble birds with their heads bopping& nodding.

@@Texaslawhorn shockingly true in France barely made it to the top 50. If that
TENGO 71 AÑOS Y AÚN NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHAR ESTA HERMOSA MELODÍA, SALUDOS DESDE POZA RICA VERACRUZ MÉXICO.
One of the top 5 instrumentals of the 1960s.
Is Classical Gas another one?
@@bobbolondz2701 would think so
Of all time!
Right
@@bobbolondz2701 yes
62 sene önce sabahleyin ilk okula giderken o zamanlar 6 yaşında idim…televizyonumuz yoktu her sabah radyodan haber bülteni öncesi Paul Mauriat orkestrasından bu muhteşem melodileri dinlerdim…ona tanrıdan, cennetten bir köşe diliyorum 🙏🩷
What a great production! Beautifully choreographed, and as striking visually as it is musically. Love the transition from black and white silhouettes to fully lighted dancers, all performing in a design limited to primary colors -- piano is yellow, gowns are red, and love is blue.
Thanks for posting!
Wonderful description! 👌💜

I can just remember hearing that in late 68! Funny how songs like that could get air play in the era of the Beatles and Stones etc.
He is playing a harpsichord rather than a piano
I was 7 ysr old still young 1968 school standrad 2...now 66 yrs old still heard this song, love so much and feeling..."Love in Blue "
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful life since Paul Mauriat days. 🙏
If you’re 66, then you were 10 yrs old in 1968.
