Love Is Blue (L'Amour Est Bleu) [Piano Solo] [Paperback] [Jan 01, 1968] Andrew Popp; Lyrics by Pierre Cour and Recorded by Paul Mauriat and Orchestra.
The name of the song comes from the 1959 motion picture for which it was created (obviously), but the most popular version of this song was recorded by Percy Faith, a Canadian conductor. Faith’s version spent an (at the time) record nine consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1960, as well as snagged a Grammy Award for Record of the Year the following year. Of all the covers of this song, Faith’s version stands alone in both critical acclaim and overwhelming popularity. The Horse (1968) Quite possibly the least well-known of all the songs (by name) on this list, despite it’s continuing play in today’s school marching bands, The Horse is a song by Cliff Nobles and Company, released in 1968.
