    SLEEVE NOTES:

    The Paul Mauriat Grand Orchestra, which first made its name in France by accompanying Charles Aznavour, then brought the so-called French sound to the forefront with "Love is Blue" on the American hit parade, has finally become one of the world's premier mood orchestras in both name and reality. The latest recording of the Paul Mauriat Grand Orchestra, which has become one of the world's leading mood orchestras in both name and reality.

    Paul Mauriat began piano lessons at the age of four and entered the Paris Conservatory at ten. At the time, his goal was to become a classical concert pianist, but he eventually became interested in jazz and switched to povular music, forming his own orchestra at the age of 17.

    As he toured the world with his orchestra, Charles Aznavour recognized him and gave him a chance to make a name for himself. He conducted his own orchestra and steadily gained fame for his great talent on stage and on record. He also mentored the budding singer Mireille Mathieu, for whom he composed “The Creed of Love,” a chanson that became a huge hit and made Mathieu a star, while Mauriat established himself as a composer as well. In addition, his orchestra's recordings of his excellent arrangement of “Koi wa mizuiro” received great acclaim in the United States, and he became a leading figure in the world of music.

    Now, let us enjoy the unique French sound of Paul Mauriat.

    Mrs. Robinson:
    Like the current hit "The Sound or Silence," this is a new hit by the American folk-rock duet group “Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who went to elementary school together, have been singing together since they were 14 years old, but did not become professionals until 1963. They achieved success with Simon's "Sound of Silence" and other songs. This song is also by Simon.

    Honey:
    The French title means "All the trees are in full bloom." This is Bobby Goldsboro's hit number "Honey," by B. Russell. The Paul Mauriat Grand Orchestra plays the melody beautifully, coloring it with a soft French sound.

    Lady Madonna:
    This is a well-known hit song by the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney with lyrics by John Lennon, a member of the Beatles. Paul Mauriat's effective use of the harpsichord and other instruments makes this familiar tune even more enjoyable to listen to.

    Eleanor Rigby:
    How about another Beatles numper by the famous duo of Lennon and McCartney? Paul Mauriat's dashing, yet humorous, delivery is enhanced by the nerves of the arrangement.
