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.

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.
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.
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.'

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.
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
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. 😎
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.
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.
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. 😁

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.
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.
Hello, I'm from Vietnam. This is the first time I've heard the song I've been looking for for so long, the song "Love is Blue" that played in the shopping mall when I was a child and I started to enjoy it. Thank you very much for this song for the great video
If music videos had been a "thing" in 1968 (the Beatles were doing them but not many other artists were), I could imagine the official video for "Love Is Blue" by Paul Mauriat looking something like this.
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.
Esta canción me trae muchos recuerdos ya que fue parte del examen final cuando yo estudiaba música. Siempre que la escucho recuerdo el gran salón, con el piano de cola, y los tres jurados evaluandome. Gracias por por publicarla.
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.
I don't know how old I was when I first heard thins , five or six, but I have loved ever since. I only hear this video 60 years later but could not imagine a more magnificent interpretation. God is great, amen.❤❤❤

""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." (Wikipedia)
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 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...
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.

Never thought that someone was able to make a choreographed dance with this instrumental, but it did. Cute dance steps. Love it.
This should be re-made on “Dancing With The Stars.” How cool would be that?
I heard this all the time when I was a kid. I never knew there were words to this song until I heard it performed by Marty Robbins. Awesome song!
The Dells do a POWERFUL version of it with words THEMSELVES.....
@@ogam5 I'll check it out. Thanks!
I was born September 1968, chances are my parents were in the backseat making me to this one
Great piece of music but unusual that your parents would have chose this to conceive you by thought steppenwolfs born to be wild would have got the passion happening that night 🌙 😉 😜 😀 😳
I have this 45 record. I have what I call vinyl days. I play old records from the 60s and 70s.
This song is a beautiful masterpiece!
Oh the sheer unadulterated JOY. If he never wrote another... Transported❤
Head bobbers unite! This is the video for you.
That grin = I can't believe they thought I was serious with this choreography
""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."

Merci beaucoup pour le conseil.
Parece que también la canto

It's one of the lovely tunes.
This brings back so many memories! Wow! Still sounds just as good.
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 listened to the top 10 countdown on a short wave radio 68/69, dadgummit it's tough being old!
@@christophermorgan3261 Just to the best and let's enjoy life!! Blessing my friend!
It's a tune you don't get tired of, but don't play it 24/7.
Never seen anything quite like that before. And I've always loved that music.
I loved this in 1967 and I still love it in 2023!
