The music was composed by Jean-Pierre Bourtayre and Claude François, and the lyrics were translated from the original version "Parce que je t'aime, mon enfant" (Because I Love You My Child) into English by Phil Coulter and Bill Martin. A sentimental ballad, the song is sung in a first-person narrative from the point of view of a father to his young son under the presumption that the child is asleep and can’t hear what his father is trying to tell him. The father tells his son the truth of the strained relationship between the child's parents, and that all the father has left is the love of his son. Rather than risk losing that through a painful divorce, the father makes the decision to stay in a loveless marriage for the sake of his child. Actor Richard Harris performed the song "My Boy" at a music contest sponsored by Radio Luxembourg in 1971. Despite not winning the contest, Harris recorded the song and released it as a single later that year. Appearing on Harris' album of the same name, the song reached number 41 on the Billboard pop chart and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. Elvis Presley recorded a cover version of "My Boy" in late 1973 that was included on his 1974 album ''Good Times''. Presley's version of the song reached number 20 on the Billboard pop chart and number17 on Cash Box. In the UK, where Presley's career had had something of a resurgence in the previous few years, it made the top 10 peaking at number 5 in the first week of January 1975. It was a bigger adult contemporary hit, spending one week atop the U.S. and Canadian charts in April 1975. "My Boy'' also peaked at number 14 on the Billboard country chart. Claude Antoine Marie François (1 February 1939 - 11 March 1978), also known by the nickname Cloclo, was a French pop singer, composer, songwriter, record producer, drummer and dancer. François co-wrote the lyrics of "Comme D'habitude" (composed by Jacques Revaux), the original version of "My Way" and composed the music of "Parce que je t'aime mon enfant", the original version of "My Boy". Among his other famous songs are "Le Téléphone Pleure", "Le lundi au soleil", "Magnolias For Ever" and "Alexandrie Alexandra". He also enjoyed considerable success with French-language versions of English-language songs, including "Belles! Belles! Belles!" (The Everly Brothers' "Made To Love"), "Cette année là" ("December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)") and "Je vais à Rio" ("I Go To Rio"). Claude François is said to have sold 61,325,000 records between September 27, 1962, and December 31, 2005, including 35 million sold during his lifetime. Some put forward other sales figures tending towards 30 million, including at least 20 million sold during his career. To date, he is considered one of the biggest sellers of French postmotrem records with Joe Dassin and Dalida, He was about to embark for the United States when he was accidentally electrocuted in March 1978 at age 39. Former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing is quoted as saying Claude François was, to him, "the French equivalent of The Beatles, meaning the great talent of a generation". After recording a television special for the BBC on 11 March 1978, François returned to his Paris apartment at 46 Boulevard Exelmans. He was due to appear on Les Rendez-vous du Dimanche with Michel Drucker the following day. While preparing for a bath, François attempted to replace a lightbulb in his bathroom lamp, causing him to receive a severe electric shock. He was subsequently brought to a hospital but succumbed to the electrocution and died later that day. His body was buried in the village of Dannemois, in the Essonne department (about 55 km (34 mi) south of Paris), near which Claude François owned a house where he spent his weekends.
