He first created some interest for his talent, with an advertising jingle for Cadbury's, called "Hot Chocolate Crazy". This was played almost as often as Horace Batchelor's football pools advertisement on Radio Luxembourg.
This was quickly followed in 1961, by his only number one hit in the UK singles chart - "Well I Ask You". The song was written by Les Vandyke, who had earlier penned two chart topping singles for Adam Faith. These were "What Do You Want", and "Poor Me". The further quirky connection is that both artist's stage names owed more than a little of their originality to Genesis, Chapter One.
Success was short-lived for Eden Kane. A couple of flops, financial problems, and a change in record labels did little to sustain his career. One comeback hit with "Boys Cry" in 1964, was just a hiccup on the general downward spiral. However, he was arguably the last British teen idol before the arrival of The Beatles, and his five chart singles all made the Top Ten. Certainly not, therefore, a one hit wonder.
The family was far from finished. His brother, Peter Sarstedt, got to number one himself in 1969, with "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)"; whilst the youngest brother Clive (who used his second name to call himself, Robin Sarstedt) reached the top three in 1976, with his rendition of the old classic, "My Resistance Is Low".
As a footnote, in the mid 1970s all three brothers sang together briefly, but it generated no more chart action for Kane. As of 2006, all three of the Sarstedt brothers are still active in the music business.
Kane was a contract actor on the Star Trek team, and made many appearances in the TV series under his real name of Richard Sarstedt.

I've been cryin' my heart out
Do you love me or do you love me not
If you keep tryin', you'll hear me sighin'
Forg-e-e-et me not
I've been wearin' my mind out
To have you close I'd give all that I've got
The love we tasted, has it been wasted
Forg-e-e-et me not
Ain't I just a lucky guy
Forget me not, forget me not
Woh, I'd lay me down to die
If love is one big lie
There's no need to remind me
Love's afire when the kisses grow hot
So take this ember, then you'll remember
Forg-e-e-et me not
Well, ain't I just a lucky guy
Forget me not, forget me not
Woh, I'd lay me down to die
If love is one big lie
There's no need to remind me
Love's afire when the kisses grow hot
So take this ember, then you'll remember
Forg-e-e-et me not
Forg-e-e-et me not
Forg-e-e-et me not

I so miss Brian Matthews and the Sounds of the sixties on Saturday mornings....discovered lots if 60s gems listening like this song xxx
Steve Tivey
From that period between rock and roll and the beat groups. England had it's own selection of 'heart-throb' male singers. Eden Kane was just one of them

A wonderful tune. And my God, what charisma he had, such a handsome guy. How cool he looks in this video. Just look how he interporates the song so expressively. Some of today's stars could learn a thing or two from this, how to put themselves across.
Graham Ashdown
Great to hear this again,
I was just 11 when this song came out in 1961,
it still sounds good today some 62 years later.
lynette komidar
Still remember all the lyrics 60 years later.
