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.
