"To Sir with Love" was the theme for the 1967 film To Sir, with Love, and Lulu, the first to record it, acted in the picture as well as singing the song. Don Black wrote the words and Mark London, husband of her longtime manager Marion Massey, the music; Mickie Most produced, and Mike Leander arranged and conducted.
It went all the way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and finished as America's best-selling single of 1967, making the Scottish singer only the second British woman to top the US charts in the rock era, after Petula Clark with "Downtown" in 1965. Lulu cut it again for her 2002 album Together, this time with Steve Mac producing, arranging, mixing and playing piano and keyboards, and the Tuff Session Singers behind her.
