American Bandstand 1968 TOP 10 Love Is Blue, Paul Mauriat His Orchestra

Airdate: February 17, 1968 Heres a pretty song to cap off a chaotic year just as it began the chaotic year of 1968. Mauriats cover of L Amour est bleu is at, 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the 2nd of 5 weeks in a row today. The song will go on to be the, 2 song of 1968 (Hey Jude was, 1) and the 12th most popular song of the decade. While it seems some of the dancers are struggling a bit to dance to it, I think Famous Hooks Jenny Nichols (1:16) and Don Sanuskar Maureen Cohen (shown briefly on the right at 1:29) have the right idea partner dancing to the song. Also spotted dancing here are Peggy Waggoner (her thenboyfriend) Mark Reinglass (0:32), Rick Bach (1:25), Stan Soburn (1:31), Forrest Hutchins (2:01), Sondra Gomez (2:15), Theodosia Dayton (2:42) and Roberta Simon on the top riser. Love is blue: a toast to all those who didnt make it to 2022 with us including 60s artists Michael Nesmith, Billy Hinsche, Keith Allison, Charlie Watts, Jay Black,
