"Lady Barbara" is a song written by Totò Savio, Giancarlo Bigazzi, and Claudio Cavallaro and performed by Renato dei Profeti, founder of the group I Profeti at his first solo venture. The song won the Un disco per l'estate festival and peaked at first place on the Italian hit parade.[1][2] The same year the song also named a musicarello film, Lady Barbara, directed by Mario Amendola and starred by the same Renato dei Profeti.[3]

The same year the song was adapted into English by Errol Brown and Tony Wilson, and the cover version performed by Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits, reached #7 in New Zealand and #13 in the United Kingdom in 1970.[4] It was the last single of the Herman's Hermits that featured Peter Noone. This version was produced by Mickie Most.[5]
