26.03.1966 : Petula Clark - My Love (5 weeks # 1) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d3/My_love_warner_bros.jpg gNjb1COE8ms "My Love" is a 1965 single release by Petula Clark which in early 1966 became an international hit, reaching # 1 in United States : the track continued Clark's collaboration with songwriter and record producer Tony Hatch. "My Love" was recorded at Western Studios and featured the backing of the Wrecking Crew. Petula Clark would recall: "We recorded three songs on that session...I liked the two other songs quite a lot, but I really didn't like 'My Love'...I thought it was a bit ordinary. I had got so used to these wonderful songs that Tony had been writing with all these different moods and I thought "My Love" was just a bit flat." Clark would describe her discouraging Warner Bros a&r man Joe Smith from issuing "My Love" as a single: "he's a very small man physically...about the right height for me. I was able to get hold of his lapels, and I said to him, 'Joe, I don't care which [of the three songs] you put out, but just don't put out "My Love". And he said: 'Trust me, baby.'" Smith did in fact okay the single release of "My Love" which would return Clark to the top of US charts for the first time since her breakthrough success with "Downtown", as "My Love" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 5 February 1966, making her the first British female to have two US #1 hits. Also a #1 hit in Canada, "My Love" returned Clark to the UK Top Ten for the first time since "Downtown" two years previous with a March 1966 peak of #4. "My Love" became a certified Gold record for US sales of one million units and in the UK the single earned a Silver disc for sales of 200,000 units. "My Love" also provided Clark with a hit in Australia (#4), New Zealand (#6) and reached #13 in both the Netherlands and the Dutch speaking region of Belgium. In Germany "My Love" became a hit first in its original English version (#13) and then again when rendered in German as "Verzeih' die dummen Tränen" (Forgive the foolish tears) (#21).

Voted for Tich.

Now allowed for this thread, because wasn't released in United Kingdom, but it's my favourite song from 1966 and maybe # 1 for all 60s decade. France Gall - Les sucettes q-iysdFu_TQ

26.02.1966 : Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (4 weeks # 1) http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2008/02/nancy_sinatra22.jpg SbyAZQ45uww "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" is a pop song written by Lee Hazlewood and recorded by Nancy Sinatra. It was released on February 22, 1966 and hit #1 in United States and United Kingdom Pop charts. Subsequently, many cover versions of the song have been released in a range of styles. Jessica Simpson made #14 in the United States in 2005 with her version based on the movie "The Dukes of Hazzard". Geri Halliwell and Jewel also released covers of the song. Nancy Sinatra was encouraged by Lee Hazlewood to sing the song as if she were a sixteen-year-old girl giving the brush-off to a forty-year-old man. Sinatra's recording of the song was made with the help of Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. This session included Hal Blaine on drums, Al Casey, Tommy Tedesco, and Billy Strange on guitars, Ollie Mitchell, Roy Caton and Lew McCreary on horns, Carol Kaye on electric bass, and Chuck Berghofer on double bass, providing the notable bass line.

My favourite Madonna's album. Voted for Lucky Star.

01.01.1966 : Seekers - The Carnival Is Over (2 weeks # 1) http://www.zoomerradio.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/theseekers.jpg z4ZipKdI1sY "The Carnival Is Over" is a Russian folk song (1883) with lyrics written by Tom Springfield in 1965 for Australian group Seekers, who customarily close their concerts with it. At its peak, the song was selling 93,000 copies per day and is No 30 in the chart of the biggest selling singles of all time in United Kingdom, and has sold 1.41 million copies in the UK alone. The track spent three weeks at No. 1 in UK Singles Chart in November and December 1965. The main tune is taken from a Russian folk song about Stenka Razin known as "Iz-za ostrova na strezhen" or "Volga, Volga mat' rodnaya". The song became popular in Russia as early as 1890s. It was performed by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra (balalaikas and domras) during their 1967 tour of Australia. The tune is also used in a Dutch hymn "Vol Verwachting Blijf Ik Uitzien", and a Dutch nursery rhyme "Aan de Oever van de Rotte". Tom Springfield adapted the melody from Russian folk song, and also wrote the remaining music used in the song, as well as writing the lyrics, after a trip to Brazil, where he witnessed the Carnaval in Rio. Seekers were supposed to have performed this song at the end of the closing ceremony for Summer Olympics in Sydney (2000), but the performance was cancelled after Judith Durham broke her hip. The Seekers did, however, sing the song at the conclusion of Summer Paralympics with Judith Durham seated in a wheelchair.

06.11.1965 : Petula Clark - You're The One (5 weeks # 1) http://www.petulaclark.net/discography/cd2003/soldore642.jpg n5pGxafdT78 "You're the One" is a song by Petula Clark. It was later also included on the 1965 album "I Know a Place". Written by Clark with her regular songwriter and record producer Tony Hatch, "You're the One" was a Top 30 hit in the UK Singles chart for Clark, but was more successful as a Top Ten US single release by The Vogues. Petula Clark thus describes the genesis of "You're the One": "we [Clark and Tony Hatch] were making yet another LP, and that's like twelve or thirteen songs. He'd written twelve, and he said, 'Listen, I haven't got a number thirteen in me at all. Write something.' And I said, 'Okay. I'll try.' And I wrote the melody of 'You're the One.' And he wrote the lyric." Originally there were no plans to issue a follow-up to the "I Know a Place" single off its parent album; instead two newly recorded Petula Clark singles were consecutively released: "You'd Better Come Home" and "Round Every Corner" both of which barely made the UK Top 50. Both singles were substantially more successful in the US where each neared the Top 20 in respectively the summer and autumn of 1965. The burgeoning success of the Vogues' "You're the One" had alerted Petula Clark's UK label "Pye Records" to the track's hit potential with Pye rush releasing Clark's own version as a single which entered the UK chart in November 1965 and peaked at #23. Rocky Sharpe and the Replays remade "You're the One" on their 1981 album release "Come On Let's Go".
