Well my lovely and I looked at these clues and couldn’t come up with the answer. But within 30 seconds and a few clicks on Wikipedia came up with it. Apparently you have a winner, so I don’t feel bad about sharing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYx1qhnaaQ0&ab_channel=alexleanh. Even after hearing it, I can only vaguely remember it. But it is good, and I am surprised it doesn’t rock my memory!
“Where Do You Go to My Lovely'”
Peter Sarstedt wrote the song and recorded it
Leonard Cohen also recorded it.
He wrote The Good Life which Mr. Bennett recorded…and what a hit song!!
Nice to be back!
Hey J.C.
Great to see YOU back! You, as usual nailed the question! However I’m curious about your reference to Leonard Cohen recording the song as well! I don’t recall ever hearing his version! So I jumped on line and did a deep dive, but found nothing! Perhaps you heard him do it live somewhere? Either way I’d love to hear Leonard’s version, to me it’s a perfect song for him!
Got any tips? Congrats yet again for being first in with all the goods!
Cheers,
Rick
