Can I raise a glass to Boys Cry? Its thunderous Anglo-Spector production made it a favourite in Andrew Oldham’s office, at least with Andy ‘Wipe Out’ Wickham. Winning lyric of male insecurity with subtle gay allusions that would have possibly suited a Heinz/RGM 45. I know Heinz couldn’t get a hit to save his life, but Eden Kane was even colder in ‘64.

A true lost classic, considering it made the Top 10 - don’t even recall hearing it on Sounds Of The Sixties.

#1, that was Robin.

Also, beyond surreal is following up “Well I ask you” with a hit single called “Get Lost”

I have a copy of the Sarstedt Brothers Album. There is a song on it called Glory Glory which features him. I confess I still like it! I have many of his records!

The conclusion of Tom’s stranger-than-fiction Eden Kane movie is that he married an American journalist who saved him from the cabaret circuit. He now lives in LA with Smokey Robinson and Peter Faulk for neighbours. Suitably surreal happy ending, then.

Eden Kane was the brother of Peter Sarstedt of Where do you go to, My Lovely? fame.A third brother, Clive Sarstedt, also charted briefly in the mid-seventies. Eden Kane briefly survived the Beatles onslaught with Boys Cry but after that it ws the nostalgia circuit
