Soul Coaxing (Ame Caline)

"Soul Coaxing (Ame Câline)" is an instrumental tune recorded in 1967 by the Raymond Lefèvre orchestra and released in 1968. It was often used as a theme tune for Radio Caroline, Radio Luxembourg and other radio stations, including some in the United States. It was issued on the Major Minor label in the UK, and reached #46 in the UK Singles Charts in May. It was also a hit in the US on the Four Corners label, peaking at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April at the end of a 12-week run.

It was written by Michel Polnareff, who originally recorded a vocal version of the song, and an English language version was also recorded by American singer Peggy March entitled "If You Loved Me". Other instrumental versions were recorded by such artists as Norrie Paramor and Franck Pourcel.

Brian Matthew gave a rare airing of the song on his "Sounds of the 60s" BBC Radio 2 show on 30 July 2011.

It is now used as the hourly continuity signal on the online station Britain Radio 355.

Jerry Lang, presenter of Jerry's Jukebox on U105 in N. Ireland, uses it daily as background music.
