Another all but forgotten gem; from 1971. It’s about the aspiration of living up to a parent’s successes. (And the impossibility of achieving them.)
I particularly like the line, “He conducted the HallĂ© Orchestra at the age of twenty two.”
It’s another from that school of song with jaunty tune and much less jaunty lyric.

I see from the label this was produced by Mike Batt! I have previously mentioned Mike Batt in connection with this post.
