Love Is Blue Guitar Instrumental

Details

Description

Welcome to my instrumental version of "L'amour est bleu" ("Love Is Blue") a song recorded by Greek singer Vicky Leandros with music composed by André Popp and French lyrics written by Pierre Cour. It represented Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967 held in Vienna, placing fourth.

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 first number-one by a French lead artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Mauriat's version became a gold record, and its five-week run at the top is the second longest of any instrumental of the Hot 100 era, after "Theme from A Summer Place".

This arrangement for guitar is by The Spotnicks from 1987.

All the best
