Rare EP LES SATELLITES
Dir . PAUL MAURIAT
Not necessary to introduce this Very rare 1962 French EP to connoisseurs.....
But as a reminder , Paul Mauriat (1925-2006), was THE French orchestra leader. Mauriat specialized in light music (easy listening & lounge) and is best known for his 1968 masterpiece "L'Amour Est Bleu" ("Love Is Blue"), written by André Popp and originally recorded by Vicky Leandros, whose version was a No.1 hit in the USA. In the 1950s he became musical director for at least two well-known French singers, Charles Aznavour and Maurice Chevalier, touring with them respectively. In 1957, he released his first EP "Paul Mauriat" on RGM. Between 1959 and 1964 Mauriat recorded several albums on the Bel-Air record label under the name Paul Mauriat et Son Orchestre, as well as using the pseudonyms Richard Audrey, Nico Papadopoulos, Eduardo Ruo and Willy Twist, to better reflect the international flavour of his recordings. During this period he also released several recordings with Les Satellites, where he creatively arranged vocal backing harmony for such albums as "Slow Rock And Twist" (1961), "A Malypense" (1962) and "Les Satellites Chantent Noel" (1964). Mauriat composed the music for several French soundtracks (also released on Bel-Air) including "Un Taxi Pour Tobrouk" (1961), "Horace 62" (1962) and "Faits Sauter La Banque" (1964). This EP was issued in 1962 and is the rarest one. ( Courtesy of Popsike )
