Same with me.

Every time I hear this song it takes me back to the summer of 1968 sitting in the back seat of my dad's metallic light blue Cadillac convertible (top down), with my Mom and Dad (pre-divorce) in the front seat on our way to the Kansas City Plaza, with this song playing through the car's stereo complete with back seat "reverb speaker". A time and a song I hold dear to me.

I remember when this song went to # 1. Never thought people danced to it, just a relaxing tune enjoyed by all ages.

We had a wonderful time. I didn't step on her toes. This song I think went best with fluid swoopy waltzy moves; and so fit the 'traditional' Dance Class well.

On April 3, 1968 for my 7th birthday I received the #1 45 and pop hit record "Love is Blue" by Paul Mauriat and his orchestra (of which I requested) as I was already a big fan of the music of the day listening to WKNR AM (Keener13) when I could. I was also a big fan of the American Breed hit "Bend Me Shape Me" but hadn't thought about requesting it for my birthday. I still have the record.

"Love is Blue" is one of my favorites from '68, a nice diversion from all the nastiness that's going on and still lies ahead for us. Famous and Jenny are showing us some of the moves that won them the dance contest a few weeks earlier. As I am writing this, the Decades network is paying tribute to Mike Nesmith with its weekend Monkees binge. My favorite songs from him are "You Just May Be the One" and "Listen to the Band". A talented musician and a fine deadpan comic. We just lost Joe Simon who was mainly a '70s artist but got his start in the '60s. Finally, best wishes to everyone during the holidays.

Just a innocent story of my memory of this incredibly memorable classic..when it came out I was 14..when I first heard it I fell in love with it, rushed out and bought the 45..played it over and over again..and when alone, call me silly, but I would dance, or try to, like a ballerina.. I would imagine dancing in front of a audience as I danced and would slowly make my turns to the music..and I swear I could see their faces and all .. even at the ending would bow as gracefully as i could to my make-believe audience..what a magical time that was ..❤🕊️🌌❤

We were really "cute" kids back then! Raised on a farm, I remember that we (teenagers) always had to dress for going out, especially if trying to make a good impression on one's Sweetheart. That is the way it was, politeness and respect were taught at home, school, church, and by the community. Peace be with you all and Happy Holidays, Ciao, L

I loved the way Mad Men used this song during the final scene of the episode set during MLK's assassination. Don Draper is on his balcony looking out at the city as riots break out on the streets. It was the perfect juxtaposition of civil strife and beautiful music, a lot like 1968 itself. I was 6 in 1968 but I remember RFK's and MLK's assassinations very clearly. This song was my brother's favorite song when he was a kid. I liked it too but my favorite tune was "Downtown" by Petula Clark.

Such a beautiful song and a classic. Reminds me of my cousin who had all these 45s rpm. I was born in 69' and have her records now.

That girl with the long sandy hair parted in the middle. What a goddess in 1968.

Pretty amazing that this was a #1 song on the pop charts (top 40).

These young people ( born between 1949-1953) were living in a historic time.1968 is considered to be the most tumultuous year since the Civil War era.Riots, assassinations,the Vietnam war,protests... yet all they wanted was just to live their lives,make the most of being young and enjoy good music

Remember having the 45 of this classic instrumental.

My mum had this on 45, one of many

Always loved this song and smooth to dance.

In 1968 I was 15 years old and living in the Philippines when this song came out. It was not unusual to hear Black is Black, Happy Together and Love is Blue blasting out of the GI bars in Olongapo City back to back!

Was just a kid in 68 listening to this on a Cape Cod beach. Still love it 🤗.

One of my favorite songs. Splendid dancing inspires me to move.

I didn't know you could dance to this song but ok. But I am happy it held the top spot in the billboard! This song is a Masterpiece!

Feb '68 - both MLK and RFK were still alive when this was broadcast. All the optimism of america's youth would be gone in just a few months.

It's been a nice year on this channel if not anywhere else. Love Is Blue was one of those songs you liked if you were a "hip" kid but you didn't admit to your friends.

I did, and it's actually pretty good!

Hi Kevin, I agree with you. While my collection of Mauriat's arrangements is not as diverse as yours, he was one of the great composer/arranger/orchestra leaders of its time.

Peace be with you, Ciao, L

You can tell the dancers are trying to make the best of an Instrumental that went #1 . . . and actually stayed there for several weeks I think. It's awkward for them, I can see that. But hey, like some others were saying, unlike today we have radio stations (and internet) where there's a station for every type of music genre. Back then, everything was crammed into AM radio, until FM Rock broke somewhat away from the Top 40 lists. There were also Adult Contemporary stations (AC) that definitely played this kind of instrumental, but they were geared to other lighter pop music/instrumentals. Some of it crossed over from AC and other AM pop/rock type stations. In the 70s, with disco blossoming or once it got started, at least the instrumentals were more danceable - TSOP - The Sounds of Philadelphia (MFSB), The Hustle, Pick up the pieces, Average White Band, etc.

Number one song in pop! Just amazingly superior comparing it to what would be #1 today. Technology has gone the wrong way in music

I turned six years old that year. I loved that song. It was on the radio all the time and it was on the jukebox of the Comeback Inn, where my mother would take my sister and I when we were small. The restaurant (around the city limits of Chicago) had a giant stuffed grizzly bear over the door, and the indoor atmosphere was dark, with peanut shells on the floor. I always think of my mother when I hear it because love was always blue for her.

Wish I had a time machine……!

Timeless treasure and I consider myself a rock and roller but this is and always has been BEAUTIFUL ✨

Take's me back to a better time and place the late 60s were all about love, wish we could go back to a better time and let it be love not hate and lies. Beautiful, almost 70 now and it sounds better today than it did then dreaming of a better day love to all

Lots of memories it was a good old watching American band stand every Saturday
