In fact, the whole album it was taken from was pretty much as good and memorable if totally underrated and overlooked. Whether you sing along or play in the background, takes you way back to better days every time. But the sentiment of the observation - spot on and I totally agree with it.

So this song was written for Clair Mills, the 3yo daughter of Gordon Mills, O’Sullivan’s producer for whom O’Sullivan would sometimes babysit. Sadly, producer Mills disputed song rights to “Clair”, and this plus matters relating to his producing of O’Sullivan led to a lawsuit - which Mills lost entirely. Meaning Mills lost quite a bit of money over it. So despite the song having been written with the best of intentions, things were not always so rosy with its later circumstances. Still, once Clair Mills was an adult, she apparently did not hold the unpleasantness against O’Sullivan and came, publicly, to at least one of his concerts where he acknowledged her to the audience. A gorgeous song. I remember it from the early ‘70s and then the famous legal case plus all the nasty gossip surrounding it. In the end though, I think it was written with the best of intentions and expressed great affinity for a human just starting out, entirely appropriately.

This is a song written, performed and sung beautifully, playfully and innocently by a singer almost totally forgotten . . at least by me . . The song's about a guy admiring a child, right? It was made in 1972 long, long before all the Bundys, Dahmers and school shootings that have sickened and killed us all inside. Gilbert O'Sullivan brings our hearts back to life and he's awesome. Where has he been?? His music stirs up so many emotions: Sadness, laughter, anguish, admiration and a few I can't even think of. It's an amazing and weird talent; haunting yet enjoyable. I can't stop listening to it. It's the closest thing to literally going back in time to your childhood and reliving the best parts of it all over again. Please Mr O'Sullivan come out of retirement. We need you.

I love this sweet song, is from an era where people were more human and kind to each other. The original vid is adorable. Those who made it into something that it wasn't I believe have been cheated of simple, innocent friendships made in childhood w/o agenda. As a small child, much like Clair, I had a sweet friendship with a much older boy who lived across the street, was friends with my older brother. I adored him. He was so good to me and so much fun; he would pick me up and carry me around, chase me, give me piggyback rides. This song reminds me of him. He was a kind-hearted teen and would bet he grew up to be wonderful father and husband.

True love song. Man, I miss those years. If you weren’t around, it’s inexplicable to describe.

I’ve loved this song since it first came out, I was a young teen. Now I have a grand daughter named Adalyn ‘Claire’, I sing this song to her. 💕

I had a cat called Clair and this was our favourite song. Unfortunately Clair was killed by a bus. Always brings a tear to my eye when I hear this song.

I Love this precious song. I have so many great memories of my childhood in the 70’s. That time was so magical for me and my siblings growing up. And the music of that era was a big part of it. I’m so blessed to have come up then. I wouldn’t change it for nothing.

Je crois que c’est parce que sa voix fait pensée à celle de Paul McCartney! Mais, pour moi le style est bien différent.

J’avais 13 ans en 72 et j’étais en pension à Villard de Lans. Des années de solitude mais aussi de belles rencontres, les filles des villages autour qui par leurs sourires nous amenaient du réconfort. Cette chanson me ramène toujours à cette époque. Merci Gilbert O’ Sullivan 🤗🙏🏻
