I’ve loved this track my entire life. I would probably put it in my top 5 favorite songs. So it was a “now it all makes sense” moment when I learned recently that “Love is Blue” was #1 on the charts for five weeks leading up to my entering the world March 1968. So I’ve loved this track for my entire life plus, and buy every record I find with it. There are more than you might think!
Good luck finding the first disc below (top left) in a thrift store. But I’ve seen the Paul Muriat #1 version with equally lovely cheesecake cover a few times. The 101 Strings was a great find for me, and Johnny Mann had one of his best tracks with it. Claudine Longet’s version is nicely done, but not my favorite, which would be the 101 Strings. An “eyes bug out” moment and a three category match: 101 Strings, Love is Blue and Cheesecake.
I’ve picked up all of these for $3 or less each, except for the first one, which I am hoping to find someday!
