SLEEVE NOTES:
There seems to be no need to explain here the appeal of Paul Mauriat, the king of the French sound. Before you read any commentary on him, you must first hear his sound. The beautiful strings of the mood orchestra, the light, fresh, rhythmic feel of the various rhythm sections, and the stunning arrangements are all there. Anyway, listen to the record.
In this single disc, we present two of Paul Mauriat's latest recordings, "Il y a du Soleil Sur la France" and "We Shall Dance," a hit song by Demis Roussos.
"Il y a du Soleil Sur la France" is a new French pop hit. Eric Chardin and Stone, a young popular couple, had a big hit in the summer of 1972. Eric Chardin, the husband, is a very active songwriter as well as a singer, and wrote songs for many young artists including Herve Villars and Stone, who visited Japan recently, He has written songs for many young artists including Hervé Billard and Stone, who recently visited Japan.
Of course, this song was also his own creation. His wife Stone, on the other hand, was also a very popular artist even before their marriage, and was very successful in Europe. The B-side, "We Shall Dance," was written by Demis Roussos, a male singer from Greece. The song "We Shall Dance" is the theme song of the musical "The King and I," but this song is completely different. The man who made this song a hit, Demis Roussos, is the solo vocalist of Aphrodite's Child, well known in Japan for "Rain and Tears," and has recently been active as a singer on his own. Most recently, he won a prize at the 7th International Popular Song Festival in Rio de Janeiro this fall with a new song titled "Velvet Mornings."
