Paul Mauriat

Born: March 04, 1925, in Marseille, France
Died: Nov. 03, 2006 Perpignan, France

Mauriat came from a family of classical musicians and was playing the piano by the age of four. In 1962, Mauriat used the pseudonym Del Roma when he wrote "Chariot" for Petula Clark with the arrangers Frank Pourcel and Raymond Lefevre and the lyricist Jacques Plante. "Chariot" became a hit throughout Europe and was eventually adapted into English by the lyricists Arthur Altman and Norman Gimbel. Now called "I Will Follow Him" and recorded by Little Peggy March, the song topped the US singles charts in 1963, and was later revived by Whoopi Goldberg and a choir of singing nuns in the 1992 comedy Sister Act.

He is best known in the United States for his million selling remake of Andre Popp's "Love is Blue" which was #1 for 5 weeks in 1968.

He passed away at age 81.
