    Paul Mauriat (1925-2006)was a world-famous French Composer. I first heard him in late sixties and the song was Love is Blue. I was stunned by the tune and became his instant admirer. I would spend a fortune buying his LPs and Cassettes every month. That was a time when music was available only through these channels. Now it's a freely available on the net. Paul Mauriat and our own Ilayaraja struck a good friendship. When I heard of his passing away in November 2006, I felt a lump in my throat. I now present five of his tunes that I love most.



    Love is Blue. My first exposure to the great man. "Love Is Blue" was the first instrumental to hit number 1 on the Billboard charts. It was published in 1968.



    Windy was published in 1986 on vinyl record.



    Pulstar was published in 1978. It used to be the most sought after tune in Listener's Choice!



    Love Story published in 1971.



    El Condor Paza published in 1971. A very widely reviewed and loved song

    Enjoy!

    Cheeniya uncle,
    I'm grateful to you for sharing western musical instrumental series. It is interesting to know about Paul Mauriat and his friendship with our Maestro Ilayaraja.
    I just listened one by one of Paul Mauriat's instrumental hits from your post. I really loved the tunes of "love is blue", "windy" and "love story".
    I usually create CD with my favorites songs and going to burn CD with all these wonderful instrumental hits.:)

    My dear Mistt
    I am happy that you like my musical selections. Our tastes in music are so very similar. I must say you are not my virtual niece anymore.

    Dear Gauri
    Thank you! I am happy that you like my selections in music. Coming to my sense of humor, people say that it is hardly noticeable because of my grumpy countenance!
