Petula Clark held the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 the week of February 8, 1966, with ‘My Love,’ enjoying its second of two weeks in the pole position.
Clark wasn’t a fan of the song after recording it and asked the studio not to release it as a single. They ignored her wishes and ‘My Love’ ended up as her second #1 hit in the States, following 1964’s ‘Downtown.’
Clark became the first British woman to have two chart-topping hits on the Hot 100. Today, the record for most #1 hits by a solo British woman is five. Please comment below with your guesses as to who owns that title.
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
[Verse 1]
Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind, no matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more
[Chorus]
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
[Verse 2]
Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you’d never come my way
Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you everyday
[Chorus]
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
