Paul Mauriat
Conductor and songwriter Paul Mauriat died November 3 in the town of Perpignon. He was 81. Mr. Mauriat, best known for his 1968 hit, Love is Blue, began conducting during World War II and during the 1950s he was music director for Maurice Chevalier. Mr. Mauriat's orchestra still tours the world.
On a more contemporary note, those inclined to current popular music may have heard Mr. Mauriat's I Will Follow Him as a sample in rapper Eminem's Guilty Conscience. I'm just saying...
The Celebrity Series presented Paul Mauriat and his Orchestra twice, in 1969 and again in 1970.
