This week’s British #1 in 1969 was a love/hate situation with the record buying public over there. People either dug the biggest hit from Peter Sarstedt, or not. It was loosely based on a Sophia Loren-type who rose from nothing to a European jet-set lifestyle. This got to #70 in America in May of ‘69. Peter’s brother Richard also had a UK #1 in 1961, using the name Eden Kane. Video is from “Top Of The Pops.”
