Soul Music recalls the French Love song - Plaisir D鈥橝mour - which went on to inspire Elvis Presley鈥檚 hit, I Can't Help Falling in Love with You. It has been recorded by Marianne Faithfull and busked on the streets of Paris by The Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson.

It has also touched the lives of former American Military Academy Freshman Andrew Scott and recently married couple Henry (76) and Christine Wallace (82) who fell in love on a moonlit New Year's Eve. Written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-脡gide Martini, Plaisir d'Amour muses on the pleasures and pains of love and was inspired by a poem which appears in Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian's novel C茅lestine.
