😱😰 Thanks for the warning about taking a deep breath before seeing what see looks like today. She looks like any other natural very old 🧓 woman of 90 years old.The rest of us mere mortals should be so lucky to live that long !....
I fell in love with Petula Clark the first time I heard her voice and saw her angelic face on television. Of course, I was in the 5th grade, but after all these years I am still stunned by her beauty and voice. What a classy lady. She will always be my favorite. God bless you Petula Clark. When they made you, they broke the mold.
I first saw petula Clark at Wimbledon theatre when she was a young girl. After the show I went to the stage door and saw her leave. I was very impressed with her performance. I am now 97years old and live in the borough of Epsom and Ewell. She is a great star.
Petula Clark always was a great singer. From your title. I thought something happen to her. She looks great at 90. What a terrible title for your article. She is a lovely. Classic beauty and very talented. God bless her and her talent. What a lovely woman she is.❤
Outstanding Petula Clark... a toast for you and your life achievements. I love you lady since I started to listen and see you on screen. What an amazing person and all round accomplished singer artist. Enjoy your golden years!
She came in Montréal and she speak and sing in french. I'm almost 30 years Younger but I do remember when I saw her on TN and she reflected Joy and happiness.
I remember in 1967,she had a big hit with This is my song,a brilliant tune. Both my mum and myself loved it,so of course she went out and bought the 45. A class lady,she is really big here in Ireland as well
Pet Clark is one of the greatest female Singers (and enduring) Britain has ever produced! Multi-talented from a young child. What people never comment on, is during the sixties (the era she is best associated with) people tend to forget, that nearly 60 yeas ago, and in your late thirties - you were no chicken and knocking on a bit - and Petula was competing with a lot of young talent in tee Music Industry - particularly in the Charts; she did it with ease, and did not look out of place with all the young things, yet she’d been around and in the business long before many of her co-stars were even born! She had no problems with hit after hit! This was no easy feat! She really deserves some kind of an Award for that achievement alone! She’s great! I want to see her reach WAY past 100!
This lady, and she is just that, represents a rare description these days, TALENT. Her age is irrelevant, her example is important and like so many who have passed recently, we shall never see her like again.
What a shocking and derogatory headline for an incredible woman. Please change the title and you will get more views. 'A Tribute to the Legend Petula Clark' would be a good one. Thank you
I saw her live in the Paris Theatre in London in the 1970s and it was one of the most memorable performances. The one thing I remember the most was she was a real lady.
It's people like Petula Clarke's songs that heals my pain of growing up in discomfort as a child. Thanks Petula for helping me cross the bridge if time in the past,allowing me move on to be the older,wiser adult I am today. I'll alway love you Petula.
I first became a Clark fan in the 1960's when my ex was stationed in Germany. "Downtown" was a big hit then, and I've enjoyed her music ever since! Thanks for the interesting article.
Aging is a part of life. What does one expect? The real beauty is what is inside of a person through each age. Aging gracefully. Quit acting like a person is suppose to still look like they did when they were young. Again, the REAL BEAUTY THAT IS ON THE INSIDE IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!
I totally remember the performance with Belafonte! I’m 73 years of age , they both were amazing! Going back to the invasion of Europe, I was born not long after, people like her are stars!😘😘👏
I grew up with the melodies of Petula Clark, and sang along with her "hit" tunes with such gusto... what a singer, actress and still performing to sell out crowds....I hope I live to look as gracious as her in my coming years🥳🙏
Petula Clark has had a career that no one of this generation of musical acts will ever match. Petula's career is totally Unmatchable and Unique. An Eighty year career that has seen her on stage and television with some of the Greatest and Biggest stars of all time. Dean Martin,Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Junior, Lucille Ball,Perry Como, Sasha Distel to name but a few. Petula has had chart topping and award winning records in France,Italy,Germany,Spain and of course her homeland The United Kingdom. Petula's crystal clear and pitch perfect singing voice and pinpoint accurate diction is absolutely phenomenal and is a template for all other female vocalist to try and follow. Petula Clark CBE has reached a milestone year and all I can say is CONGRATULATIONS Petula and please continue to be THE BEST of the best.
Met Petula back in the 1960's when she was appearing on the TV show "Thank your lucky Stars". I have always said she was the friendliest star I have ever met. Stood there for ages talking and signing autographs. Taking photo's of stars has been my hobby for many years now. I love the ones I have of her.
I first saw Petula live in Pérols Arena in 1962 when I was 17. I married my pied-noir boyfriend in 1965 & became Anglo-French. I still live near Pérols & remember her wonderful singing which accompanies me from high school through Drama School, Uni in Montpellier & my teaching career to retirement. Thank you for being a happy presence & leading me to occasionally burst into song, as do Harry Belafonte, Cy Grant & all the great vocalists of the 60s.
I love this! We are all the same. I did not know about her moment with Harry. I first saw Petula on TV as a child in the 60's singing her iconic song "Don't Sleep In The Subway." It's always been one of my favorites.
Years ago in the 60’s my husband and I went on several occasions to hear her sing at O’Keefe’s Centre in Toronto. We loved her performances. Thank you Petula.
Harry Belafonte.🥰...he was a gorgeous, highly talented man. Petula looks great. I hope I get to be 90 in 20 years and will be fortunate enough have her resilience.
U.K. Women are Beautiful, Talented, Versatile, Strong and Captivating and Petula is the Epitome of all these Fine Qualities!!!!! Cheers from Canada!!!!!
Petula I think you are worthy of my admiration , not only because of your gifted beautiful voice but also the integrity with which you have lived your life 💜
Petula Clark has lived in France most of her adult life. Married a French man. Was hugely popular in France before she was known in USA. Strangely enough the video show Ms Clark as having started her career in the US with Downtown. Her greatest popular song was in French ''Je me sens bien auprès de toi'' (I feel good near you).
I know Im alot younger than most Petula fans, but I cherish her! If you don't like 50s to 90s pop music, you don't know music. Petula is very special and I play her often. I know the old women in the neighborhood like it too. !! Tears of joy already!
While you got most of her career highlights correctly, your title is so rude and inappropriate. I saw Petula in Mary Poppins in London last November, on her 90th birthday. She sounded terrific and got a huge standing ovation during the curtain call.
Myself born in the UK during the Blitz of London 1943 Always loved Petula , danced the nights away to Her singing 💃in the ballrooms of Northern Ireland Especially her hit record *Downtown ❤ Mary Canada 🇨🇦
I'm 71 now an still a Pet Clark fan an still listening to her Greatest Hits CD because her music an voice always had a way of perking my day an mood up !! In my opinion her version of Kids Me Goodbye was her best an my favorite but of course each to their own !! She surely was / is one the Greatest !! Love Ya Pet Clark
Petula Clark was the love of my life when I was 9 and 10 years old. My favorite songs where "A Sign of the Times" and "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love."
Fell in Love with Petula Clark. Saw he on TV performing her big hits. Went out and bought her recordings and of course played them over and over again. She was just beautiful and had so much energy. You could tell that she had a bright and out going personality. She was a genuine person, not what they call a Diva these days. Her wonderful voice was a pleasure to hear. She was so upbeat in her presentation. I wish I could turn the clock back and see her in her heyday all over again. All the best to this beautiful and captivating classy Lady of music.
I had the pleasure to have lunch with this wonderful Lady. She performed on stage in the play Blood Brothers. Then my brother told me that after the play? we will be going to lunch with Her. I thought he had lost his mind. But here she came gave hugs. And we walked to the near by Indian restaurant. It was so surreal.
I ave always loved her. She appeared at my local theatre where I booked a box to treat my friends on my fiftieth birthday. Isn't it about time that she received the accolade of Dame of the British Empire for her services as an international star ? Many of her contemporaries have - so about time that she joined their illustrious company here.
A brilliant singer, in my younger years around 1964, I heard the song "down town "I thought it was a brilliant song and followed, by "don't sleep in subway darling "which was a brilliant number I sure that was the title of the song, but anyhow it was brilliant. 😂❤❤❤
@FactsVerseUK I found it very interesting to find your post regarding Petula Clark. I do not believe in coincidences. Less than 48 hours ago, a friend mentioned Olivia Newton John and did I enjoy her music. I said yes. I come from a background of music lovers. I immediately said, “Do you remember Petula Clark?” It is with great joy that I know she is alive and well. I thank her for sharing her talent with world. Petula Clark is a Living Legend. Thank you again for sharing. She will be forever remembered. Never forgotten. ❤️🎶
I first heard Monsieur Monsieur play on a jukebox at an Austrian ski resort in 1962 or 1963. I saw her live at University of Notre Dame in 1969 or 1970. Her version of Fool on the Hill was good and memorable. I don't know if she ever recorded this tune. One of the best.
She never ever looked her age. Even though she is 17 years older than I am, when I was in my 20s someone stopped me on the street and told me that I look just like Petula Clark. Even some of my relatives told me that. I’ve always loved her
Thank you so much for this tribute to the wonderful Petula! I have loved and followed her for years. (That sounds kind of creepy, but you know what I mean.)
