Amor, amor is a French lyric adaptation of a Mexican tune composed by Gabriel Ruiz with lyrics by Jacques Plante. It has been recorded by artists such as Marie-José, with Roberto Delgado listed in some sources. The song later appears on Luis Mariano’s Le Prince de Lumière Vol. 2, a 2013 Marianne Mélodie six-CD compilation that collects French and Latin inspired chansons from the 1960s to 1970s. In this release the track sits in the Chansons Espagnoles / Mélodies Sud-Américaines section, reflecting a Latin flavored pop and chanson style. A notable point is that the collaboration between a Mexican composer and a French lyricist illustrates the cross-cultural reach of mid-century Francophone popular music, and the tune continues to be featured in compilations celebrating that repertoire.
