Guild Sighting - Peter Sarstedt

[marcellis]

Indian-born singer-songwriter, not well-known in the US.
But his song, "Where do you go to (My Lovely)?"
Was a number 1 hit in 14 countries.

And it's a song that's 4 decades old this year.
And I still love it.

Where Do You Go To My Lovely?

Always liked that lyric ............ "Where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your head."

Yes, I know ...... it should have been "head".

This is him with a Gibson (?) in 1969 - the other has a montage of mainly Brit Groups with Sarstedt's song in the background.

I got that shot from his website.

What about the old archtop? Dunno if it's a Guild or not.

Where do you go to (My Lovely)?
Was huge in the 1960's. It went #1 in
14 countries.

But it wasn't a big hit in the US. It was rare to
hear it on the radio. But I always loved it when I did.

That song was featured in the latest Wes Anderson film "The Darjeeling Limited" and more notably the short film prelude "Hotel Chavelier".
