Peter Sarstedt

Peter Sarstedt, reminiscent of artists like Donovan, Al Stewart, and Cat Stevens, crafted his own unique sound with lilting phrasing and bouncy commercial arrangements. Born in India to a British family in 1942, Sarstedt's musical journey began playing in skiffle bands with his brother before finding success with his folk-influenced pop hits like "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?"

Despite his early success in the late '60s, Sarstedt's albums showcased a bold mix of genres, blending brass flourishes with acoustic folk elements. He continued to perform and record music until his passing in 2017, leaving behind a legacy that influenced both underground and mainstream audiences. Sarstedt's music found new audiences in recent years through placements in films by director Wes Anderson, solidifying his place in music history.
