expo 67 lounge

Expo Lounge is dedicated to my retro passions, including, but not only limited to, Expo 67.

Hey Friend Say Friend

After years of searching, I have finally found the original cover art to the 45 single of the Expo 67 theme song, as done by Michèle Richard. Michèle is dressed in the official Expo hostess uniform.

Needless to say, it is very rare and ultra hard to find!

Side A is the original french version Un jour un jour while side B features the English version.

It is the ultimate piece in my collection, the one that bridges the gap between my two biggest passions: Expo 67 and Michèle Richard!

Now if it was only available somewhere, somehow, on mp3...

This is one very very homesick Canadian and Montrealer dreading another lonely Canada Day in Southern California.

La fete nationale last week was bad enough (although I did mystify my colleagues at work by playing all-Quebec music after closing the store: Pag, Charlebois, Offenbach, la Bolduc, Harmonium, Gilles Valliquette, Plume, etc.) but Canada Day without something appropriately Canada Dayish?

And what could be more appropriate than Hey Friend/Say Friend?

Please, not again...

Is there any chance you ever came across Oscar Brand singing Something to sing about associated with Expo 67?
