"That's My Life (My Love and My Home)" is a 1965 single by Alfred "Freddie" Lennon, the father of the musician John Lennon of the Beatles.[1][2]

Background

Tony Cartwright, co-author of the song, began writing it with inspiration from Freddie Lennon's stories.[citation needed] It was recorded by a 30 piece orchestra which included the future members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.[3] When released, the song had commercial success. However, the song suddenly disappeared from the charts, an action suspected by Cartwright to be instigated by John Lennon.[citation needed] Alfred, disheartened, abandoned further attempts at a career in music.[3]
