Sailor (original title: Seemann (Deine Heimat ist das Meer)) is a song written by Werner Scharfenberger and Fini Busch which as sung in German by Lolita (born Ditta Zusa Einzinger) was a hit in Europe, Australia and in the US in 1960. In the U.S., the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remained the highest charting German language song until 99 Luftballons by Nena in 1984.
With English lyrics written by Norman Newell (credited as “David West”) the song also provided a comeback vehicle for two veteran UK vocalists: Petula Clark and Anne Shelton whose respective versions of “Sailor” were both musical milestones for each singer marking Clark’s first #1 on the UK Singles chart and Shelton’s final chart appearance.
