@BNMXCVful ..Greetings, friend. You may be a bit young to have heard the story about this vain sylph. She was married to one of the most awesome singers and entertainers to every grace our land, Andy Williams. However, she chose to forsake and betray her marriage to him. She soon became entangled with the famous skier, "Spyder" Savich in Aspen, CO. Apparently, Spyder was shot to death by Ms Longet during an argument. The jilted Williams stood by her during the trial showing his love for her.
@handy335 Her Wiki says it was judged accidental death - he was showing her how to use the gun and the safety catch was faulty. She had split from Williams six years before (though only divorced the year before).
@brk754 The consensus at the time was that she got away with murder. The old “showing the gun and it went off accidentally” plea has been used a bazillion times by everyone that has blown their lover away. No one (from our generation) believes that it was an accident. Spyder probably deserved to be forcibly removed from this life. No one actually mourned for him that I’m aware of but everyone loved her so she got off. Works for me. Wiki isn't always perfect or complete.
Very enchanting song by a very lovely & enchanting french actress/singer; Claudine Longet. Just saw her in a hilarious movie with Peter Sellers called "The Party." So sad to her about her misfortunes in Aspen. Hope all is well for you Claudine!
I used to listen to this in French Class back in the 70s and we would sing along with it, I fell in love with the song, and its not til 2011 that I get to hear it again :)
She was unfortunately, nothing spectacular as a singer - pretty, yes, and a nice match for Andy Williams but a strong singer she wasn't - she could carry a tune, and the rest was done with voice doubling and imported Echo chambers and other recording tricks utilized in the recording studio.
I remember hearing this first as an instrumental by French artist Paul Mauriat and later ths vocal version. Love both versions...a beautiful song by an equally beautiful and talented Claudine. We still love you wherever you are!
Une éternité que je ne n'avais pas entendu cette chanson !
Merci.

Always loved this song when I first heard it...whether in french, english or any other language...
LOVE just leaves the Soul in languid strife...(SIGH)
But Life must still go on....

If "Tish" were to sing this to Gomez, he'd go ape with passion. :-P

I love this version of 'Love Is Blue'. It's haunting and very sweet at the same time.

This is the version I'm most familiar with. Vicky Leandros' cover of it is great as well.
