Love Is Blue In G minor Not By Claudine Longet

Female singer asks her keyboard player, "I'd like to do Love Is Blue tonight... but can you think of a way to jazz it up, you know... make it a little hot?"

Keyboard player replies, "Sure, we can do the first chorus in G minor, then modulate to G#minor for the second chorus in 5/4 time, then modulate to A minor in 3/4 time for the bridge, then cut off the last 3 bars!"
She purrs, "That might be too complicated to do without a rehearsal!" Keyboard player responds, "Well, that's how you did it last night!"

Thank you nomore. It is a soothing and sentimental song and most beautifully sung in French too.
