Name That Tune!

I recognize the tune, an instrumental from my youth, but this version is being played too slow and is badly overdriven. Tunatic could not identify it. SoundHound identifies it as "Theme For Young Lovers" by Percy Faith.
 
Thanks Chuck, that's it. (https://youtube.com/watch?v=9ZSIVNv68fk) According to the description it's actually by a Bill Pursell, not Frank.

@landtuna--
It is at the right speed (variable bitrate, encoded with LAME, so your software might not be able to handle it properly) but it was clipped out of a 22050/56 MP3 stream capture of "Tempo FM" in Wetherby, England*. Their stream audio is pretty badly overdriven much (most?) of the time. What you heard, in fact, was after I had rolled off some of the excessive bass.

Incidentally, Youtube seems to keep misidentifying it as "Sincerely" by the Moonglows. If it's the same "Sincerely" I'm thinking of, they don't even sound remotely similar.

You are right, it is Bill. My bad. there was also a Franck who had an orchestra, but he spelled his last name differently: Franck Pourcel Really...

I never actually heard "Our Winter Love" until around 1990 on an aircheck. I think it's one of the best instrumentals of all time.

I've heard two different versions.

One was used on Stardust, and the other on Dial Global Adult Standards, which usually plays it at Christmas. Both are said to be by Bill Pursell.

The same phenomenon happened with Horst Jankowski's "A Walk in the Black Forest".

I'm at home so I don't have sound, or fast Internet, or the desire to go to most sites. I'll try it later.
 
Thre's a vocal version too, but I dunno who did it....

Chorus ends "we found our win-ter loooooove."

"Our Winter Love" was very popular for awhile, and was included on oldies stations early on. Particularly in "backseat memory" type shows.
 
The Lettermen vocal version hit the charts back in 1972. I would image some B/Ez staples such as the Living Voices or the Percy Faith Singers would also have recorded it.
 
Chimp is right; Pursell's "Our Winter Love" is on the Dial Global Adult Standards Christmas playlist each season. So is Hagood Hardy's "The Homecoming," another stellar golden-oldie instrumental.

This sounded like it might have been the Stardust version. Dial Global's is different, and of course it does play at Christmas.
 
We got a good chunk of our library from Dial Global at 1340 KWXY in the Palm Springs, Ca. market. 2 versions of this instrumental came from them, one the 1963 hit version and one a newer re-recording.

One couldn't be blamed for confusing Our Winter Love with Winter WORLD of Love, by Englebert Humperdink, circa 1967.
 
Got a couple more here from the WDVR tape* (looking for title and performer.) Same routine; only the URLs are very slightly different. (Download, unpack and play from your hard drive.)

The first one sounds like it might be either Ferrante & Teicher, Roger Williams or Ramsey Lewis. I don't believe I've ever heard either of these cuts on KAHM, myself.
