He is best known for the 1968 "L'Amour est bleu" ("Love is Blue"), originally recorded by Andre Popp and a number one hit in the United States. Mauriat grew up in Paris and began leading his own band during the Second World War. In the 1950s he toured with Charles Aznavour. Mauriat said goodbye to the stage in 1998 in Osaka, Japan. But his orchestra keeps touring around the world and has twice traveled to China. Among his best known recordings are "L'amour est bleu," "El Bimbo," and "Penelope." In 2002 writer and Paul Mauriat commentary expert, Serge Elhaik released an official authorised biography "Une vie en bleu" of Mauriat's life, written in the native French language. This biography contains valuable information on Paul's recording discography and has many pages of photos of Mauriat and his fellow musicians.Mauriat's former lead pianist Gilles Gambus became the orchestra's conductor in 1999 and led successful tours of Japan, China, and Russia. In 2005, classical French Horn instrumentalist, Jean-Jacques Justafre assumed conductorship of the orchestra. Successful tours of Japan and Korea occurred in late 2005.” Track List: 01 - Descendant of the Dragon 02 - Taste of Sorrow 03 - Love is Still Blue 04 - Don't Go Breaking My heart 05 - Woman in Love 06 - Even the Nights Are Better 07 - Woman in You 08 - All By Myself 09 - The Logical Song 10 - Money, Money, Money 11 - Guilty 12 - The Bird and The Child 13 - I'll Follow Him 'Chariot' 14 - Honesty 15 - If You Leave Me Now + Covers I only have Vol 2 of this compilation.
