“The Other Man’s Grass Is Always Greener” #31 12/30/1967

Written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, this would be Petula Clark’s last UK hit, save a 1988 dance remix of “Downtown.” In the States, this was a Top 5 easy listening entry for Pet. It’s actually a very well-written song, but by early ‘68 the American musical landscape was undergoing some serious upheaval and this almost sounded out of touch.
