"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. 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. Alfred, disheartened, abandoned further attempts at a career in music.^[3]
