Music video description
"Paloma Blanca" is a song written by Dutch musician George Baker, which was originally recorded by the band George Baker Selection. The single came from the group's fifth studio album and very quickly became a hit not only in Europe, but also in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. On Valentine's Day 1976, the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Easy Listening Singles chart while also ranking No. 26 on the now legendary Billboard Hot 100 list and No. 33 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The song sold more than two million physical copies worldwide, which can undoubtedly be considered a major success.
George Bakes said in an interview that the song "Paloma Blanca" tells the story of a poor South American farmer who does hard work on a daily basis, and immediately afterwards sits under a tree and dreams of what it would be like to be a free bird.
