You're the One (Petula Clark song)

"You're the One" is a song by Petula Clark with lyrics by Tony Hatch, recorded in 1965.

"[1] As was standard with Clark's tracks produced by Hatch, "You're the One" was recorded at Pye Studios in Marble Arch.

Hatch also conducted for the session whose personnel featured Bobby Graham on drums, Big Jim Sullivan on guitar and The Breakaways vocal group.

Originally there were no plans to issue a follow-up to the "I Know a Place" single off its parent album; instead two newly recorded Petula Clark singles were consecutively released: "You'd Better Come Home" and "Round Every Corner" both of which barely made the UK Top 50.

Pittsburgh-based record producer Nick Cenci had already cut "You're the One" with a local band called the Racket Squad; after hearing the Val-Aires audition tape, Cenci decided that that group's lead singer Bill Burkette could sing "You're the One" more effectively than Racket Squad vocalist Sonny DiNunzio.

[5][6] The burgeoning success of the Vogues' "You're the One" had alerted Petula Clark's UK label, Pye Records, to the track's hit potential with Pye rush releasing Clark's own version as a single which entered the UK chart in November 1965 and peaked at No.

In the autumn of 1965 four versions of "You're the One" charted in Australia with that by Petula Clark becoming the major hit at No.

The Vogues' cover was featured in the Netflix limited series The Queen's Gambit (episode "Doubled Pawns").
