I remember seeing the film (which accompanies this blog song) on a documentary about the British Artistes who were massive in America in the sixties. The narrator of the show said that this song was written by Paul McCartney but had been offered to Peter Asher who was Jane Asher’s brother at the time when Paul and Jane were an item. Having seen the clip I went out to Ainley’s Record Shop to buy the single. I remember it was on the ‘Old Gold’ label .
The song itself also reminds me of ‘Ally McBeal’ the US TV series as a new version of the song (recorded by Vonda Shepherd) was featured in the show and Kerry and I were regular viewers. ‘Ally McBeal’ was a great series and really very very funny but poignant at the same time and the choice of music in the show from Dr. Tracey’s Theme Song for Ally ‘Tell Him’ coupled with ‘Crying’ and ‘A World Without Love’ were all good choices that helped to underpin the narrative.
It was very much of its time but I loved it and it is a shame that like most great things it got a little crazy in the end…
Now listen to the song….
