[@annarees7248]

I am 16 and this is one of my favourite songs along with Life on Mars, Sunny Afternoon and all the "classics". To everyone on here commenting about how they remember buying this when it first came out - you are so fortunate to have experienced this live and at a time of such iconic music! Listening to these incredible songs almost makes me feel as if I lived a little slice of it myself... I'm not bashing the music of my generation, though, because I like lots of that too, but there is something timeless about this era which I really hope is treasured and never fades away.

[@BiboNassim]

You are absolutely correct. We had the Rolling Stones come to our student hop one saturday - in 1968. Hard to believe, but true. BTW, it was at the student union building of Imperial College - just behind the Albert Hall. :-)

[@annarees7248]

Alfred Nassim My grandpa was head of the YMCA in Liverpool just as the Beatles came on the scene (but before they went international) and actually managed to get them to come and play for him at a dinner he was hosting there!

[@BiboNassim]

That's great. Something to remember. Let me tell you one too. Their first proper manager was Brian Epstein. He had been at Stowe school (Buckingham) and he brought them to the school for a performance in 1964. The boys (no girls) went crazy and the headmaster banned any more pop groups. Sadly, I started at that school the following term and so missed out on all of that. Epstein later committed suicide - because he was gay and Jewish. It was a big thing in those days.

[@Mr3sheds]

Like most Beatles performances, their appearance at Stowe School is well documented. The booking was the result of a pupil from Liverpool called David Moores who was a fan of the group. The date was April 4th 1963 and it followed a session at the Paris Theatre London where they recorded a programme for the BBC. Their fee was £100. This was a long time before Beatlemania started and by all accounts, the group were greeted with polite applause by the staff and students. There will always be conjecture over the circumstances of Epstein's death. It was more than likely an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

[@BiboNassim]

"polite applause" I went to Stowe the following term, when I was 14 (Richard Branson was a contemporary). The story we were all told was that the boys went berserk and that the headmaster, Robert Drayson, banned all similar performances thereafter. Don''t forget, we were all rigorously disciplined in those days. Drayson would frequently cane boys over trivialities (hand in pockets, walking on the wrong patch of grass etc.) and did not consider it a good caning if the boy's bum did not bleed. He was a Cambridge Blue (hockey) and proud of his bowling skills.

[@Syndicate93]

My mother got this single as birthday present in the spring of 1970, leaving her in tears at her birthday party. 50 years later, this song evokes the same emotions in me. Then you know you have a timeless gem at your hand. Tremendously beautiful song.

Number one in 1969. And P. Sarstedt just needed a guitar.....! I haven't forgotten that song.....! Thank you, Peter, for that wonderful song, bringing back to me so many memories. R.I.P., my friend.

I loved this as a 10 yr old primary school boy with the whole of my life before me. Those school days were the happiest and most carefree of my life, and this song, with its piano accordion, takes me back there.

It made me so sad that I didn’t no about this as a child I’m 52 years old 😢

This is one of the best songs ever written back in a time when you understood the lyrics and could almost picture the places and items as he sings them. My love for this song is not just because if its timeless qualities but it was No.1 in the charts the week I was born.

Such a beautiful song. When did music become more about looks than voices and emotions?

This was my friend's favourite song. She died a few years ago. I think of her often. This song makes me smile and be sad at the same time.

Fifty four years on...2023....still mesmerizing

R.I.P. Peter. He passed away on 8th January 2017, aged 75. My thoughts go out to the Sarstedt family, especially Peter's brothers Eden Kane (Richard Sarstedt) and Clive "Robin" Sarstedt.

Larry Wyse I didn't know that. R.I.P just checked .. yep you're correct

[@sebreeves2403]

I did not know he passed this year, such a shame.

[@williamklein4600]

He's with her now

[@LittleHotels]

I didn't know that. How sad. Not that I ever knew Peter, but I was pretty obsessed with this song at the time. I've heard it sung by Clive many times.

[@heatherkerman1627]

William Klein Who???

[@rjk8008]

This song just popped into my head and I had to hear it.

Encore une fois merci vinylsolution pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2023 comme en 1969. 54 ans et pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) !

Great guy. We used to write each other. Born in my country of birth, India. I have the album. Released March 22, 1969 reaching # 70 on May 10. Great memories of 1969. R.I.P. Peter.

[@stateofdreams1]

Sounds as wonderful today as it did when it first came out all those years ago. R.I.P. Peter.

[@stuartalexander336]

listening to the music of my youth brings back lots of memories, lots of them great, a few sad. All part of life`s rich tapestry. Great

I worked in Naples in the early 1960 s and had a boyfriend from there. After we split and I came back to UK this beautiful song came out. Always reminds me of a romantic time in Naples
