"To Sir, with Love" was initially recorded by Lulu, 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. It was the second-biggest hit of that year.
In Lulu's native UK, the song was never released in its own right, instead appearing on the 1967 #11 hit 'Let's Pretend'.
Lulu performed the song again on the American Idol elimination episode on March 21, 2007, almost 40 years after it was originally released.
The song was performed by R.E.M. and Natalie Merchant at Bill Clinton's inaugural ball.
