In a break with longtime collaborator Tony Hatch, Clark joined forces with producer Sonny Burke and arranger/conductor Ernie Freeman for this release.

"This Is My Song", with words and music by Charlie Chaplin, had been composed as an instrumental theme for his film A Countess From Hong Kong.

This incident set off controversy when the sponsor threatened to back out because a white woman touched a black man.

In the UK that track had been featured on Clark's Colour My World album which had been released concurrently with the "This Is My Song" single in February 1967 and had reached #16.

The tracks attributed to Al Grant actually were written by Petula, who used the pseudonym for many of her compositions during the 1960s.
