Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go to My Lovely Video (4min 54sec). Sarstedt was born in India but his family relocated to England in 1954. He is the younger brother of the 1960s pop star Eden Kane for whom he briefly played bass and the elder brother of pop singer Clive Sarstedt.
He is best known for his 1969, UK number one hit, "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?"; a portrait of a poor-born girl who becomes a member of the Euro jet-set. Set to a faux European waltz tune, it reached the top chart position in 14 countries and was a minor hit in the U.S. The song was awarded the 1969 Ivor Novello Award, (together with David Bowie's "Space Oddity"). Other Sarstedt songs include "Beirut", "Take Off Your Clothes", "I Am A Cathedral" and "Frozen Orange Juice" (UK #10 in 1969).
Video (3min 26sec) of William Topley singing 'Mannish Water' at Albert Hall, UK. William Topley is part of the lineup of performers for the Taos Solar Music Fest at Kit Carson Park in Taos. William Topley, born and bred in England, nurtured on a diet of blues and rock and roll, has been building a seriously dedicated fan base in the U.S. ever since the release of Prince of the Deep Water in 1991, his first album with his band The Blessing. Producer Neil Dorfsman (Sting, Dire Straits) described him as âthe most original songwriter Iâve heard for years.â The influences, still recognizable in his music, were already there - The Stones, Van Morrison, the best of soul and southern rock.
