Throughout his career, Peter Sarstedt wrote more than 100 songs. His biggest success in 1969 was Where Do You Go To ( My Lovely ); a song that was influenced not only by the burgeoning rock / pop movement, but also has strong elements of French chanson. Noteworthy are the very lyrical texts whose stories always authentic act (Beirut, Mulberry Dawn, Hemingway, Love Among the Ruins ). The song The Last Of The Breed album from England 's Lane (1997) is subtitled Lovely 2 and again takes up the backstory of his hit Where Do You Go To ( My Lovely ) by the main character Marie Claire.
