1978 Paul Mauriat Plus – Overseas Call
Overseas Call (1978, Phonogram) is a bold departure for French orchestra leader Paul Mauriat. Credited as Paul Mauriat Plus, the album represents his rare venture into disco, jazz-funk, and soul, moving away from his signature easy-listening orchestral arrangements toward a contemporary “New York sound”.
