"To Sir, with Love" is the theme from the 1967 film To Sir, with Love. The song was written by Don Black and Mark London, husband of Lulu's longtime manager Marion Massey.
"To Sir, with Love" was initially recorded by Lulu (with The Mindbenders, who also acted in the film). Her single was released in 1967 and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining in the top position for five weeks and earning the number one position for the entire year. The song makes notable use of melisma.
In Lulu's native UK, the song was never released in its own right, instead appearing as the B-side to the 1967 No. 11 hit "Let's Pretend."
Australian singer Tina Arena released her version of the song as the first single from her 2007 album Songs of Love & Loss.
