Pop Tops - Mammy Blue (1971) [Restored]

"Mamy Blue" is a 1970 song written by French songwriter Hubert Giraud. Originally written with French lyrics, the song was rendered in English in 1971 to become an international hit for the Pop-Tops, Joël Daydé (fr) and Roger Whittaker.

A hit in Italy in Italian lyrics for Dalida and in France in its original French for Nicoletta, "Mamy Blue" was also rendered in a number of other languages in cover versions recorded by a good number of local recording artists across continental Europe, while a "local cover" of the English-language version by Charisma reached #1 in South Africa.

The song's title is generally spelled as "Mammy Blue" in the English-speaking world.

What are these people doing in 2024? Are they still with us? Did they all have good lives? It's a hauntingly beautiful song.

This may be the best song I’ve never heard before, hitting hard as if I knew it well from long ago. The background vocals are haunting.

Today being my 56th b'day born 01/29/1968 i heard this song. I have not heard this song since i was a kid. I never ever heard it on the radio in all these years. My father had it on a various artist bootleg 8 track tape in the early 70's. Another song from that old tape was is this the way to Amarillo by Tony Christie.

this lead singer's voice can tell of all sorts of feelings that a human soul is capable of. it's pure magic.

Oh my god, I went back to my childhood, amazing song

[olivierdastein]

I'm French and believed that the song was an American one later covered in French, not the other way around. The french lyrics are even sadder as the singer had left "without a word" to only return many years later when it is too late, and express his regrets for what he never said. Whatever version make me sad and nostalgic and I can't listen to this too often.
