Charles Boyer was a suave French actor who was born in August of 1899 and died, in Phoenix, Arizona, in that same month, in 1978, at the age of seventy-eight.
Charles appeared in more than eighty films between 1920 and 1976. Many of these had him cast opposite some of the world’s leading actresses. I best remember him in ‘Gaslight’, from 1944.
Even more memorable to me was his part in the television series, ‘The Rogues’, in which he appeared with David Niven, Gig Young, Robert Coote and Gladys Cooper; in the mid-1960s.
Each time I watch the much more recent British series, ‘Hustle’, I remark to Tiki, “This reminds me of ‘The Rogues’!” She must be tired of me saying it.
Anyway, in what must have been 1965, in Australia, Charles Boyer released the single, “Where Does Love Go”, on the Stateside label. I was enamoured of it from the first time I heard it, as were quite a few others for it rose to No.2 on the chart, having entered it in January of 1966.

It should go without saying but you can find “Where Does Love Go” on the list of my favourite recordings, located in the suggested playlists.
