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.’
Throwing back to the week of June 2, 1973, we find Paul McCartney and Wings at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with their song ‘My Love.’ The track would spend four weeks at #1 and 18 weeks in total on the chart. This was the first of six #1 tracks McCartney recorded with Wings.
This song sounds like it took McCartney about ten minutes to write, and not in the “genius strikes” sort of way. It’s a simple love ballad with an uninspired melody and pedestrian lyrics.
