Peter Eardley Sarstedt (10 December 1941 – 8 January 2017) was a British singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. He was the brother of singers Eden Kane, a teenage pop idol and Clive Sarstedt, with both of whom he also recorded and performed as The Sarstedt Brothers. Although his music was classified as pop, it generally encompassed ballads derived from traditional folk music rather than traditional rock and roll. He was best known for writing and performing the song "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?", which topped the UK Singles Chart in 1969. Set to a "faux European waltz tune" and described as "a romantic novel in song", it won an Ivor Novello Award. The record remained Sarstedt's biggest hit. He had one more hit single and one hit album but despite numerous releases never had chart success again. He released the album England's Lane in 1997, which continued the story of the fictional Marie-Clair, titled Last of the Breed, a planned third installment titled Farewell Marie-Claire did not materialise. Sarstedt continued to tour mainly in 1960s revival-type shows, until his retirement in 2010 due to ill health. Early life Sarstedt was born in New Delhi in 1941 into a family long resident in India. His ancestor Christian Ludwig Wilhelm Sarstedt, born in 1841 in Hanover, migrated to India and died there in 1893. His father, Albert James Sarstedt, a civil servant in British India, married secondly Coral Byrne. Both of his parents had trained as classical musicians. After Indian independence from Britain in 1947, Sarstedt's parents managed a tea plantation in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, where Sarstedt attended Victoria Boys' School, a boarding school in Kurseong. He later moved to Calcutta; in 1954, Sarstedt's father died and the family moved to Britain, settling in south London just before the rock 'n' roll boom. The Sarstedt brothers started out performing skiffle in a group known as the Fabulous Five. Sarstedt was a younger brother of the 1960s pop star Eden Kane, for whom he was a backing singer and briefly played bass, and an elder brother of pop singer Clive Sarstedt.
