"I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" #9 8/20/1966

Probably one of my all-time Top 5 favorite British Invasion tunes, and a #1 easy listening hit as well. Every time I hear this record, in my mind it conjures up Swinging London and everything that entailed. My Austin Powers moment, if you will. Groovy, baby. Petula Clark was backed as usual by the Breakaways, the best British studio girl group you never heard of. She was in the middle of 15 straight Top 40 hits in the States. Written by Pet's mentor/producer Tony Hatch along with his mistress Jackie Trent...long story, but those two eventually got married and moved to Australia.
