Happy Heart

"Happy Heart" is a song written by James Last and Jackie Rae. The song was recorded by both Petula Clark and Andy Williams and released as a single for each at the same time in 1969. "Happy Heart" reached #12 on the Easy Listening chart and #62 in the UK for Clark, while Williams went to #22 on the 'Billboard Hot 100, #19 in the UK, and spent two weeks at #1 on the Easy Listening chart.^[1] Clark was reportedly dismayed when Williams was a guest star on her second TV special, with the plan to perform the song they were both launching as a single. In Australia both Clark's and Williams versions charted both peaking at #22.

It was notably used on the soundtrack for the British film Shallow Grave (1994), starring Ewan MacGregor, Christopher Eccleston and Kerry Fox, and directed by Danny Boyle.^[2]

The female impersonator Holly Woodlawn lip-synced to the Clark version in the 1998 Tommy O'Haver film Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss. In 1977, the song was performed during a medley on an episode of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
