This Is My Song (1967 Song)
"This Is My Song" is a song written by Charlie Chaplin in 1966, and performed by Petula Clark. Origin and Petula Clark recording "This is My Song" was intended for the film '' A Countess from Hong Kong'', which Charlie Chaplin wrote and directed. Chaplin saw his film as a throwback to the shipboard romances that were popular in the 1930s, and wrote "This Is My Song" with the intent of evoking that era. To reinforce the evocation, Chaplin was determined to have Al Jolson sing the song—so determined that he only accepted the information that Jolson had died on 23 October 1950 when shown a photograph of Jolson's tombstone.
