Love Me , Please Love Me Raymond Lefevre

And His Orchestra

The sound of today is driving and forceful, yet it can turn to shimmering beauty in the hands of a musical genius.

Raymond Lefevre is a musical genius.

He has taken a dozen songs as fresh and bright as this morning’s newspaper, and made them sing and soar with orchestral treatment that is radiant with color. The Lefevre strings are as smooth and flowing as satin. The Lefevre orchestra is as full and rich as fine wine. And, when needed, the Lefevre chorus adds a touch of spice to the proceedings.

But best of all is the way Raymond Lefevre handles the rhythms. They are all modern, all right in today’s sound. But he has, magically, polished them until they throb rather than thump. Here is music today’s teens can flip over and dance to while their parents can hum along and even dance to their style.

This is why Raymond Lefevre is a musical genius.

He can, for example, capture the drama and cynicism in the remarkable songs, ELEANOR RIGBY, and yet make it a performance of haunting beauty. Still, through it all is the feeling, the life that Beatles Lennon and McCartney poured into their own version. Formidable!

The Percy Sledge hit, WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN, becomes an excitingly beautiful perform¬ ance under Lefevre’s direction, as his arrangement gives wings to the strings.

The theme from the beautiful film, A MAN AND A WOMAN, is romantic and velvety, but with the pulse of today’s beat that makes it irresistible.

And note how Raymond Lefevre takes the title song, LOVE ME, PLEASE LOVE ME, and makes it a moving, fervent plea for devotion in today’s terms and with today’s harmonies and rhythms.

The touch of Lefevre genius fills this album, from the witty, whirling WESTERN FINGERS to the bright beauty of Sonny & Cher’s hit, LITTLE MAN. He knows how to pick a song that says “today,” and how to treat it musically so that it says “always.”

After all, Raymond Lefevre has been honing his sharp talents for some time now. His way with an

orchestra has made him one of the most popular personalities-about-music in Europe. He is a giant orf European TV, a leading figure in continental popular music, and, judging by the reception received on these shores by his first album (“YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME” [KL-1510/KS-f '

he’s fast becoming an American favorite.
