British guitarist analyses Petula Clark singing 'I couldn't live without your love' live in 1966! 

@ Something in the air in those times!

Petula Clark is THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST OF ALL TIME.

Yes, turds and shotguns mostly 🤭

Me too, I was 16 !

they called that style of dress a 'shift'.

So Mary Quant.

John B Yes, I also loved those longer dresses; a 'shift', as Axle Grind told us, and the other dresses that women wore ( not all, but most). And to watch Petula wiggle in that 'shift'....wow...sexy..!!

Right on.

Of course there was the sad songs: Make it Easy on Yourself (Walker Brothers), All Alone am I (Brenda Lee), most of Roy Orbison, etc.

RoryVanucchi : The Turtles. The Young Rascals. Tommy James & the Shondells. Etc. Such fun music.

Im hoping for a few Dionne Warwicks in 2020

No mention of the fabulous Sandy Shaw?

marbleman52 I was 14, also. Crazy sidebar - Each time I hear it, it takes me back to when I pierced my own ears at home in our upstairs bathroom (out of possible sight of my mother.). Aah, good times! 😂

I believe it holds the distinction of being a rare British No 1 in the Billboard 100 in the States.1965.

Yog-Sothoth in 2020:, she is due to play The Bird Woman in Mary Poppins on stage

Thank you

Petula Clark played the role of Norma Desmond (in Sunset Boulevard, the musical) longer than any other lead. She was splendid in this part. I got to see her in London back in 1996. It was a pleasure to see her.

I loved her music. Downtown was something I loved to play when I was feeling down during cold winter nights in Kansas.

Most of us only know that we are enjoying the music. As a musician you see the technical side of what makes it works . Thank you. 👍🏼

I like the way you grew up!!

Babe , what do you mean ?? We are what we are . Bless ♡

@@sjwillis1137 I can't sing! haha!!!😀No biggie!

Same here, the 60,s was exeptional for the sheer variety and innovation. A magical musical era the best ever pure and simple!

I think the music of the 60s was ground-breaking. I don't know what happened . Suddenly the super hyper weirdness wriggled out of its shell . It's incubator. I mean where did psychedelia come from ??? Petula . ? No offence . But she is a bit ...boring?? She was appropriated by the establishment. Same as Julie Andrews. Sexless!!!!!!!!! We are all being manipulated. None of this is organic . YEH , she was great , but why the hell am I so unmoved by her . ?????? I went to see The Sound of Music as a child, and I utterly hated it . I hated the Von Trapp frigging family . I loathed it . I felt sick when I came out of the cinema , and I spat at a girl . Because I wanted to hurt her . I wanted to hurt her because she had been taken in by the repulsive ugly sentiment of that film . She looked so happy. In her stupid flowery dress . I was angry . My little child brain didn't know why . So I spat in her stupid happy face !!! I preferred The Railway Children . Love you Fil ♡♡♡

Never realized she was so talented and flexible as an entertainer!

Yes, I agree he's very interesting the way he explains music and songs. Puts a lot of effort into it!

You can see her as a child actor in the movie "I Know Where I'm Going." Edit: Have a box of tissues ready for how the movie ends :)

Nice to see a young person like yourself going over all the great music and adding on the back stories to boot. I learn a lot by listening to your videos . So interesting, Keep up the great work. And have a great day!
