We'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

April 06, 2024

We'd Like to Teach the World to Sing is the name given to two albums by UK pop group The New Seekers. The first of these, released in late 1971, was a repackaging of their previous album New Colours and was released in the US.[3] The second version of the album was released in the UK and Europe in 1972 with a new line-up of tracks.[3] Both albums however contained the song "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)".

US version edit

Although the group had achieved success in America with their debut single, "Look What They've Done to My Song Ma", the group's following singles failed to fare as well, with the 1971 album New Colours missing the Billboard 200 completely. With the success in late 1971 of their single "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", however, this album was repackaged with the single included and retitled. It then became their highest charting album, peaking at #37.[3] Of the earlier album's 12 tracks, "Move Me Lord" was omitted from this version. Other singles released were "The Nickel Song" (which peaked at #81) and "Tonight".[3] This version of the album was released on compact disc in 2003.

UK version edit

With a line-up of newly recorded tracks, the group released an album under the same name in the UK and Europe in March 1972. As well as featuring the single "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", which had reached #1 in the UK, it also featured their then current single, "Beg, Steal or Borrow". This latter single was their entry into the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest, where it gained second place as well as reaching #2 in the UK singles chart.[4] As well as this, two other songs, which they had performed in the heats were included: "One by One" and "Songs of Praise".
