Look for a Star – Garry Miles (1960)

“Look for a Star” is a song written by Mark Anthony (a pseudonym for Tony Hatch) and performed by Garry Mills for the 1960 UK movie “Circus of Horrors. It reached #7 on the UK charts. When the movie was released in the U.S. there were several versions of the song quickly recorded, the main one being by Buzz Cason under the pseudonym, Garry Miles (in order to capitalize on the success of Gary Mills’ UK original). Snuff Garrett produced the song and came up with the pseudonym. The strategy worked and the Garry Miles version reached #16 on the U.S. pop chart in 1960. What did you think?
