…a vast encyclopedia of popular music…

Well, half-vast, anyway.

Also I now have that song running through my head in both official languages, alternating.

Thanks or should I say “Merci!” I have heard of those guys, just didn’t know they wrote that one (or that Nana Mouskouri recorded it.) Your head must contain a vast encyclopedia of popular music, no wonder you are subject to brain drift.

The liner and the label list Lightfoot by himself, then “P. Delanoé — C. Lemesle.”

This is undoubtedly Pierre Delanoé, French lyricist and occasional writing partner of Gilbert Bécaud, working with writer-arranger Claude Lemesle. Big names in French pop.

Do your liner notes mention who wrote the lyrics to L’Amour C’Est Comme L’Eté? My Google searches have been inconclusive. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Gordon Lightfoot.

I kept hearing “Sundown” too.

And how many of us first encountered Nana Mouskouri from the “World” playlist on an international flight. She was a staple of in-flight entertainment back in the day.

Pretty song, although I keep hearing the lyrics to “Sundown” in my head, a much less romantic version. I didn’t actually know Nana Mouskouri had recorded this.

Well, the moon hasn’t been full for a couple of weeks, so its baneful influence is at a low level.

(That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.)
