The Seekers – A World of our Own

About The Song

The quartet had become international stars at the beginning of 1965 with “I’ll Never Find Another You,” which became the first UK No.1 by an Australian act. It also hit the top in their home country, No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No.2 on the magazine’s Adult Contemporary chart. “A World Of Our Own,” written and produced like its predecessor by Tom Springfield, was in the middle of a seven-week run in the UK Top 10, with a No.3 peak, when it entered the Hot 100 in late May. The Sullivan appearance fueled the song’s steady progress up the chart, culminating in two weeks at No.19 in July, as the Rolling Stones continued their US conquest by hitting No.1 with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
Three years later, “A World of Our Own” was recorded by Sonny James. It was his sixth number one in a row, and 26th hit on the U.S. country music chart. The single spent three weeks at number one and a total of 15 weeks on the chart.
In 1994 the single was re-released in the UK. The four track CD contained the original recording, a new recording of the song, and two B-sides – When the Stars begin to fall (originally the B-side of Morningtown Ride and the newly-recorded Keep a dream in your pocket.
