Peter Sarstedt (born 12 December 1942, in Delhi, Northern India) is a singer-songwriter.
He is probably best known for his 1969, UK number one hit, “Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)” about a poor-born girl who becomes a member of the jet-set. The song was awarded the 1969 Ivor Novello Award, (together with David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”). Other Sarstedt songs include “Beirut”, “Take Off Your Clothes” and “Frozen Orange Juice” (UK #10 in 1969). In the 1980s & 90’s he frequently toured the UK as part of the “Solid Silver 60’s” package tours.
Most recently, his biggest hit “Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)” was featured in Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited and its prologue Hotel Chevalier.

Apparently Where Do You Go... was written about a woman who died in a hotel fire whom Sarstedt loved. Remind anyone of something Wes Anderson? Curious.

My crude attempt at Punjabi - Arp bort sunder lakti - anyone? Didn't know he was Anglo-Indian, if that's the correct term these days. Anyway I can't recall anotther song like this. Unique. Could have been written for Kate Moss, or any 'supermodel'.

I got to know about him on the artist hype list, then I recognized the song when i saw Hotel Chevalier, I suppose it's the opposite for everyone else :P
