[BC] Love Is Blue (La Amour 'Est Bleu)

[Stevan A. White]

Paul Mauriat and his orchestra.  One of my all time favorites!  There was
also a vocal version but I couldn't even tell you who recorded it.  The Paul
Mauriat orchestral piece is what made that song what it was as far as I'm
concerned.

I nearly gagged and ran off the road one day when I heard a satellite jock
call him "Paul Maw-ree-ay, or however you pronounce his name."  He likely
wasn't even born until after the record went off the charts.

I remember listening to the "Joy Boys" on WWDC play it the first time I ever
heard it.  Anybody else remember them?  "We are the Joy Boys of ra-di-o, We
chase electrons to and fro-oh."  Great entertainment!  Anyway, they, and
every other announcer I can remember, called him Paul Maw-ree-ott.

Best Regards,
Steve White
