Gilbert O’ Sullivan – Clair • TopPop
CLAIRGilbert O`Sullivan

A hit number by Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan.

It was used as a commercial song for Toyota’s “Vista.” The song is an affectionate piece about an uncle and his young niece.

The real Claire is the young daughter of O’Sullivan’s producer-manager, and you can hear the little girl’s giggle at the end of the track.

It’s a very heartwarming number that will put you in a happy mood.

Strangers in the NightMel Torme47rank/position

It was used as the commercial song for ANA’s Domestic Premium Class and Toyota’s Crown, among others.

The song is the theme from the 1965 film “The Liquidator,” and it became a hit the following year when Frank Sinatra sang it.

It also won a Grammy Award for this song, but it is said that Sinatra himself didn’t care for it very much.
