Gabrielle (Hootenanny Singers song)

[5] Negotiations had been made by Stig Anderson, the manager of Polar Music, for the Hootenanny Singers to record and release the single internationally throughout 1964 and 1965.

[6] The German version of Gabrielle titled "Denk' Daran" had been released as a B-side to "La Mamma" on the Metronome label.

Cashbox rated the single B+ (meaning 'very good'), and it received positive reviews:[13] "The Hooten singers are a young Swedish group who could well find success in the U.S. with this charming, medium paced lyrical romancer which is dished up in an appealing warm hearted pop folk style.

"[13] Cashbox stated that the group recorded Gabrielle in French which was to be released as part of an EP,[11][13] but it is unknown if this version exists.

Stig Anderson and Bengt Bernhag, co-founders of the band's production company Polar Music, claimed credits for the song's arrangement and Swedish lyrics.
