Claudine Longet "Colours" LP (1968)

Details: Claudine Longet's 1968 LP "Colours" on A&M Records. Bossanova, ye-ye, French-pop and folk.

Description: "The colors are rich, but gentle too – like a palette of pastels, all sung by ...Claudine Longet! The album's got a slightly more mature feel than some of Longet's first for A&M – great Nick DeCaro arrangements that show some of the deeper elements creeping into pop at the end of the 60s – including some surprising use of acoustic guitar, which really helps transform the sound and brings out an earthy, natural quality... work by Randy Newman, Lyle Ritz, and Ron Elliott – and titles include "Pussywillows Cattails", "Catch The Wind", "Colours", "Bobbie (For Baby)", and "Hurry On Down." - Dusty Groove
