"Let the Heartaches Begin" is a song performed by British singer Long John Baldry.[1] The single was a number one hit in the UK Singles Chart on 22 November 1967 where it stayed for two weeks.[3] It was the second of two consecutive UK number one hits for the writing partnership of Tony Macaulay and John Macleod, the first being "Baby Now That I've Found You" by The Foundations. Macaulay says of the recording session "Long John Baldry sings it extraordinarily well, thanks to three-quarters of a bottle of Courvoisier".[4]
The song also charted in the United States, peaking at #88 on the Billboard Hot 100, and in the Republic of Ireland, the song reached #2 in the charts.
The title of the B-side song is "Annabella (Who Flies To Me When She's Lonely)".[5]
