Talk:Peter Sarstedt

Date of Birth
There is conflicting evidence on the web concerning Sarstedt's date of birth. The most likely birth year appears to be 1941 (rather than 1942, as is presently stated on Wikipedia). Also either 10 December or 12 December is quoted elsewhere as the day and month. Is anyone able to get a firmer fix on these details ? Thank you,

None too sympathetic?
Is the song really a "none too sympathetic" look at the jet-setting girl? I find this totally at odds with my feelings about the song, subjective as they may be.

Who is "My Daddy Is A Millionaire" about?
I've speculated that he could be singing about Gram Parsons? Maybe I'm wrong, but if someone knows the answer I would love to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.146.137 (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Morning Mountain
Does anybody know if Morning Mountain (B-side of the original Where Do You Go To My Lovely single) is available in a digital format, ie NOT vinyl? I've never been able to find it and there is no explanation in the article as to why it was never included in any CD release or compilation. Manxwoman (talk) 15:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Anglo-Indian
My question is, why does it refer to him as being Anglo-Indian since both parents were English. I know he was born there and went to school, but still, it wouldnt make him an Indian. Norum 23:41, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But it would make him Anglo-Indian. I don't know his family background, but I assume they were also Anglo-Indian. --Dmol (talk) 23:46, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * From Oxford Dictionaries online:
 * historical
 * of British descent or birth but living or having lived long in India.
 * "the late Colonel Knelle had been both Anglo-Irish and Anglo-Indian" Snugglepuss (talk) 21:17, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

He looked more Indian than Anglo. 2A00:23C1:C11A:D500:D036:9800:4F2A:CFAC (talk) 10:28, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

This is a bit of a grey area, since Anglo-Indian is often used to refer to people of mixed heritage, but the Anglo- prefix is also used for people of English heritage (since Anglo- properly means English, not British) born elsewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.44.68.77 (talk) 15:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Anita Atke
Tne Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)? article has this:
 * "In 2009, Sarstedt spoke to a gossip columnist for the Daily Express. He admitted he had lied about the song being about a socialite who died in a fire. He said that the song was about his girlfriend at the time, who he later married and then divorced. According to Mark Steyn, "Anita is now a dentist in Copenhagen. Peter Sarstedt has spent 40 years singing about wanting to look inside her head. And for most of that time Anita has made a living by looking inside yours. []"

So did this marriage and divorce actually take place? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:00, 11 January 2017 (UTC)


 * This brief obituary has a picture of Sarstedt with the aforementioned Anita, and the date in the picture caption matches the dates given in the Steyn piece, so perhaps a little digging might give more details...... PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 10:28, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * ...you mean a little probing, surely? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:34, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It's in The Scotsman obituary. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:49, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I noticed you'd done a little bit of filling... PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 17:00, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

"One-hit wonder"?
This article says he was a one-hit wonder, which contradicts both the article on Where Do You Go To? (which says he wasn't) and the One Hit Wonder article, by whose definition he wasn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.128.180 (talk) 11:48, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. Have adjusted. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:55, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
