What was number one when you were born?

[Parson Henry]

The brother of Robin and Peter Sarstedt. All three had hits, the latter had a hit with 'Where Do You Go To My Lovely?'

And was from Croydon. He wrote the song whilst overlooking Surrey St Market.

I wondered where the 'back street of Naples' line came from?
