"Sorrow" is a song first recorded by The McCoys. It became a big hit in the United Kingdom in a version by The Merseys, reaching number 4 in the UK charts on 28 April 1966. A version by David Bowie was also a hit in 1973.
The song contains the lyric "with your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue", copied on the The Beatles' track "It's All Too Much" from Yellow Submarine.
David Bowie's remake of "Sorrow" was the only single released in the UK from the Pin Ups covers project, reaching UK #3 and staying in the charts for 15 weeks. The B-side, "Amsterdam", was a cover of a Jacques Brel song (originally called "Port of Amsterdam"), had been performed live by Bowie since 1969, and was recorded in 1971 for the Ziggy Stardust album. It was dropped from the final release, but included as it fitted in with "Sorrow". In France, it was billed as the A-side of the single.
