Paul Mauriat
The song was first recorded by Franck Pourcel as an instrumental, and was released in 1961 on the European LP "Amour, Danse, Et Violons. No.17" and on an EP on the La Voix de son Maître label. Pourcel co-wrote the song with his friend and fellow French bandleader Paul Mauriat. Mauriat later recorded an instrumental version, which he released on his album "Paul Mauriat Plays the Hits of 1976".
