The French Song (Lucille Starr)(Instrumental-Hamer'Jon)
This is a live take on the "Ciao" digital Accordion, I used a 2nd take recorded at home, I hope you like it. Jon
Lucille Starr, was a Canadian singer, songwriter, and yodeler originally from Saint Boniface, Manitoba. She was best known for her 1964 hit single, "The French Song" ("Quand Le Soleil Dit Bonjour Aux Montagnes", When the sun says hello to the mountains).
At A&M Records, Starr recorded a song called "The French Song" that was produced by Herb Alpert.[4] This name was chosen because Alpert could not pronounce the original French title "Quand le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes" (When the sun says Good day to the mountains).[2] It was recorded in a bilingual version with French lyrics in the first half followed by the English translation in the second half.[5] In 1964, at a time when The Beatles dominated the music charts, "The French Song" was an international success that made Starr the first Canadian artist to have a record sell over a million copies.
