Blue on Blue is Bobby
Vinton's sixth studio album, released in 1963. Cover versions include the jazz songs
"St. Louis Blues" and "Blueberry Hill", "Am I Blue",
"Blue, Blue Day", the Fleetwoods' hit "Mr. Blue", "My
Blue Heaven", three show tunes ("Blue Skies", "Blue Hawaii"
and "Blue Moon"), and The Clovers Rhythm and blues hit, "Blue
Velvet".
The song "Blue on
Blue" was mentioned in Kim Mitchell's hit song "Patio Lanterns".
Completely devoted to
songs that refer to the color blue, this album contained two singles: "Blue
on Blue", which reached #3 on the U.S. Pop charts and "Blue Velvet",
which went on to #1 for three weeks on the same chart. Both songs served as
title tracks during their popularity. The album was released after the success
of the song "Blue on Blue", but when "Blue Velvet" became a
hit, the album's title was changed with it being the title track. It was only
after the title change that the album managed to enter the Billboard200 list of
popular albums; it reached #10.
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May, her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours, a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
She wore blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
(Blue velvet, ooh).
