The Essential Tony Hatch - Grooves hits and themes
[ Castle Pulse / 3 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Friday 12 September 2003
The British Bacharach, they called him. While Bacharach had Dionne Warwick, Hatch's muse was Petula Clark. And like his celebrated US contemporary, Hatch also excelled as a producer, arranger and recording artist in his own right.
Already established as a hit-maker in Europe, with 'Downtown' Petula Clark became a star in the USA and Hatch's renown spread across the Atlantic. Throughout the 60s, Hatch was under contract to the UK's Pye label, the source of many of the tracks here.
The song "Call Me", written for and recorded by Petula Clark in 1965, was recorded by Chris Montez later in the year. Released in November 1965, Montez's version entered the US Easy Listening Top 40 in Billboard that December, and the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1966, peaking that March on the Easy Listening chart at #2 and on the Hot 100 at #22.
Petula Clark's run of 1966 and 1967 hits include many written by Hatch: "My Love" (a US number one), "A Sign of the Times", "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "Who Am I", "Don't Sleep in the Subway", "Colour My World", and "The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener". He wrote all of these (except "My Love") with his wife Jackie Trent. "A Sign of the Times", "Who Am I" and "Colour My World" were not hits in Britain. (Wiki)
