Along with brothers Richard (a.k.a Eden
Kane) and Robin, Peter Sarstedt returned from India with his
parents in 1954. Following a musical career closer to folk than
most traditional 'pop', Peter didn't consider it necessary to
undergo a name change like his older brother. Although lacking
Richard's good looks, Peter was blessed with superb songwriting
skills. He'd already had some recognition- though not chart success-
with 'I Am A Cathedral'- before writing his great 1960s classic
'Where Do You Go To My Lovely'.
He followed this with 'Frozen Orange
Juice' which reached a creditable #10 and had some success with
an album before the decade was out. He was never able to repeat
these chart successes and for a time in the 1970s he worked with
his siblings as one third of 'The Sarstedt Brothers'. Although
he lived quietly in Denmark for many years he returned to England
during the 1990s and regularly performs on the 1960s nostalgia
circuit. |
