"My Name Is Jack" is a song written by American record producer John Simon[1] and released as a single by British group Manfred Mann in 1968.[2] Their version reached number 8 on UK record charts.[3] It became an international Top 10 hit, however, in the U.S., the song reached only #104.[4]

Background

The lyrics and music were written by John Simon, and his own version was included on the soundtrack of the 1968 film You Are What You Eat.[1] The song tells the story of a resident of the " Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls", which was the nickname of a real hostel, the Kirkland Hotel, in San Francisco, where part of the movie was filmed.[5][6][7] Formerly the Kashu Hotel, the building became dilapidated and was demolished; the Christ United Presbyterian Church was opened on the site in 1975.[8]

The song was one of the first high-profile sessions at the newly constructed Trident Studios in London, which would later become renowned for its use by artists like The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen, and others.
