Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely (Top Of The Pops 1969)

For many years tapes of an album made by singer/songwriter Peter Sarstedt had been thought lost forever. Recorded in the seventies with musicians from his home in Copenhagen, the album of original compositions was never released. Over the years the tapes were destroyed and it was only by chance that the album's producer came across some safety master copies during
a clean out of his loft. He immediately had the delicate tapes digitally mastered, so now we can hear these lovely songs as the composer originally intended.

Very few songs tell such a story, such as this one does. I heard this back in the 60s and, even as I am now approaching 77, it remains one of my very favourite songs. God bless you, Peter, rest in eternal peace, and thank you for such a timeless song.

I was 20 when this song was released and it has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

My dad used to sing that song to me and I loved it rest in peace dad and every time I hear it I think of you and go in side my head to the wonderful memories I have growing up and having a brilliant dad like you 💓

I was born in the 80s grew up in the 90s I had a friend called mharie-claire the only 1 I knew. First time i heard this song i was gobsmacked and thought it was written for my friend. If I was playing out and the song came on the radio my mum would shout me in and say the mharie-claire song is on and I would go inside and dance to it. Ime 41 now and it still is and will always be the mharie-claire song. Beautiful song ❤

Used to sing along and dance to this as a little girl - always loved the mystery of the lyrics. Now older and none the wiser, but smiling through the tears of childhood reminiscence ... Such a very special song for me - wonderful footage.

Back in 1989 I was working at a radio station in Ottawa . One of the announcers Frank Sasson introduced my wife and myself to Peter Sarstedt. It was a great time in our lives. His music was listened to a lot. Frank had an album of his music and he gave it to us. I still have it. Ann , my wife passed away 3 years ago but I still listen to his music. I have no idea where Frank is now but wish I could thank him for the memories.

i have always loved this very special song since it was first charting so long ago, the images of far away and romantic places and lifestyles that were so so far away from my own life back then, i still get goosebumps when i hear it, i remember peter the first time he played top of the pops when his clothes were still poor and afterwards when his clothes became more expensive after his success, i remember we found out later that he had a famous brother or brothers but i can't remember names now... so long ago, so long ago
