Barry Ryan and the single 💜✩ ☾🎶~Love is Love~ which was written by Paul Ryan and was released on February 7 in 1969. Erhard sent me the remastered sound ( the single was released in mono and is now stereo) of this in April this year. I am very grateful.

I created this video by a Spanish black and white TV performance and tried to ensure that it is in synch I added the remastered audio by Erhard and I used greenscreen to add some soft colours to make it look more interesting. It was quite damaged and I hope this looks clearer now.
To me this is a priceless performance as it shows close up of Barry singing this song. His eyes and the way he works the TV camera show what a consummate performer he was already at 19 years of age ( I presume this was taken before October 24).

I hope you enjoy this.
It is one of my favourite songs and will remains so for the rest of my life as it has everything. I love the way Barry sings this tenderly and yet so passionately, sounding so powerful, almost angry at times and then so fragile and vulnerable, absolutely brilliant. Barry mentioned it was a pretty challenging song to sing live.
I highly recommend for fans to buy the music of Barry and Paul Ryan, they say money cannot buy happiness but I especially love Cherry Red Records new release of the 5 CD's 1969 to 1979 as it brings priceless enjoyment.
Here are some details and info including the lyrics for this single.
By publishing this video I wish to honour the memory of Barry and Paul Ryan and think of them with gratitude for the music and only wish they were still here with us. They remain in my heart, never forgotten.
"Love Is Love" was released as the follow-up single to the worldwide hit "Eloise". Like with "Eloise", "Love Is Love" was released as "Barry Ryan with the Majority". It continued Ryan's success in continental Europe, becoming a top-ten hit in several countries. However, it was not as successful in the UK, where it only peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart. By August 1969, the record had sold a million copies worldwide.
On why "Love Is Love" wasn't as successful in the UK, Barry said "I think it was too soon and too similar" to "Eloise". However, on the similarity between the two songs, Paul said "they're not that alike anyway, simply that there's the big build up and a break in the middle. If 'Love is Love' was released first it could have been the number one, then people would have said 'Eloise' was a copy of it".Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson described "Love Is Love" as "an incredible disc, and one that could provide Barry Ryan with a second No. 1. His urgent attacking vocal is encased in a scintillating Johnny Arthey scoring that's semi-symphonic in form. The tempo and mood are constantly changing (making it difficult to dance to), but specially prominent are the catchy hook-line chorus and the powerhouse rhythm with its classical Russian influence.
For Melody Maker, Chris Welch wrote that "this reminds me of a cross between "2001", "Sparticus", Jim Webb and Richard Harris, the Four Tops, the Leningrad Symphony, the Isle of Man T.T. races, Titov's sensational space voyage in the Russian spacecraft Vodka III [sic] and the conquest of the Old West".
"Love Is Love" was planned for release as a single in the US, however in the end it remained unissued.Ryan also recorded a Spanish-language version titled "Amor es amor", which became a hit in Spain.

Here are the lyrics :
Glad to be near you
I know you're there
Love is like an aging flower
Dying as it grows higher
And that love is like an angel
Falling through the sky
And crawling down into the ground
'Cause love is love
It's all around
Love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love
Love is love
I will give you all the best years
Of your life if you will be my wife
If you will stay
I would stay with you until I'm old and grey
And when I'm old I'll pray like I've been told
'Cause love is love
And love is cold
Love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love
Love is love
Thank you for your love
That is mine again
I'm wasting my day
And I feel that I'm
Looking for the sun
And wasting my time
Glad to be near you
How do you do
I will play the part of being
Husband to your heart
And when I'm gone
There'll be my son
Listen love to what I'm saying
When I leave her he will carry on
The things I've left undone
'Cause love is love
When we're all one
Love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love
Love is love
