She's the Grand Ole Dame O the '60's. Rock on forever

Petula's music brings back beautiful memories, she was a lovely lady. 🕊

@jerryboscia9956 5 лет назад

Saw her last night tin Greensburg, PA. She sang for 90 minutes without taking a break, without sitting down, without taking a drink. And her voice was phenomenal.

i think it was packed there too wasnt it?

@brianarbenz1329 Год назад

Petula’s singing voice WAS the ‘60s to me during my childhood. Her songs made me realize there was a big and exciting world out there and that I needed to find it.

@steverdms Год назад

I'm 53 and I only discovered Petula Clark yesterday! No joke. I don't think I grew up on this earth planet!!! I knew "Downtown" because it stuck out to me when I heard it on the tv show "Lost". Yesterday, I was in a bad mood and remembered that song for some reason, I looked it up on Amazon music and I find this "Greatest Hits" album. I'm like, "Who is this person, and how does she have a greatest hits collection when I've never heard of her (I'm usually well versed in music)?" Out of curiosity I listened to it. OMG! Not usually a fan of 60's music, I still fell in love. The music transformed my mood with its upbeat, fun, optimistic lyrics. By day's end, I listened to the album on repeat so many time and I knew I had to learn more. To my surprise, I discover the now 90-year-old is a living legend the world over still performing. I've been scouring the internet and watching RU-vid videos such as this to learn more. What a life! A true lady in all regards. I'm quite smitten and definitely a new fan!!!

@lesleymacdonald2679 Месяц назад

I read with interest your post. I am 77 years old so a real sixties girl!! Having been married for 56 years 3 children and 7 grandchildren I am still a huge fan and have seen her many times on stage. Glad you are finding out about this legend!!

@lostinmyspace4910 9 дней назад

I remember when I was young, my soon to be uncle from Italy who barely knew the English language since he just came to America, well, he would sing the song Downtown. He only knew the word Downtown. Yes, Petula Clark has been a legend in mucis the world over with her popular style of songs. Yet since you're new to the 60's style of songs, try listening to Matt Monro. He too was from across the pond, and his voice and style of music is something that I am just beginning to recognize, and I like you lived in that era, but his music went right over my head. I guess I was more attached to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits, Dave Clark Five, etc., etc. But find some of Matt Monro's music and understand the strength of his voice.he was talented. Some of his songs..."I will wait for you", "Softly, as I leave you", "Walk away", "If I never sing another song", "Portrait of my love", "Born Free", ""All of a sudden", "My way".

@hungrysoles 3 года назад

I'm glad to see she's still performing. I saw her in the 1980s when she appeared in a free summer concert a Brooklyn park when was appearing in the musical ,BLOOD BROTHERS on Broadway. When she started to sing her hits, the audience sang with her and it was a special moment. She's a great performer and can still sing very well in her 80s.I hope she can keep at it for years to come.

Tears to everybody's eyes when we hears these songs today. I still remember her music during High School & after that. Good times, they still stay with me. Cheers !

I cut my hair in the 5th grade because I wanted to look like Petula Clark!~

"Downtown" was my first favorite pop song (when I was 7) and remember the first time I heard it on the radio as I sat in the back seat of my parents' car. It remains my second favorite pop song of all time. Petula Clark is and always will be a world treasure.

Betty T I also saw her in concert (in Florida) last year. She really shouldn't be out giving concerts any more. Her lifelong fans (of which I'm one) will just be saddened by her performance. Her concerts are no more than a rocky trip down memory lane. Sad but true.

@eileenmaryomalley740 Год назад

Oh my goodness my very favorite singer of all time, listening to WLS AM Chicago on my transistor radio in the late 1960's at night under my pillow so my parents wouldn't hear, praying a Petula Clark song would come on ♥️ I just love her so kind so much class and humble about her spectacular career .

This song makes me cry every time. Driving home from seeing my sister that we had been adopted by different family memories. This song came on in between Goodwater, AL & Sylacauga on old 280. My parents were so happy to have a child at last & let me choose the radio. I adore Petula Clark & the effusive memory from that trip home. I wish I had a way to let her know how much "Downtown" strikes hard in my heart & soul. What a great swingin 60's icon. (thrown around now like anything with a song on the radio) Thank you for the greatness, Ms. Clark.

@hoozerob 2 месяца назад

Wow! I had no idea that Petula live so many lives, so to speak. All I remembered is "Downtown" and a few other songs that she performed. I didn't know she accomplished all she did starting at such an early age and made such an impact on the world. I'm so amazed. I'm also amazed that she looks good at her age and still belts out the tunes and she's as sharp as a tack. We should all be so fortunate. A life worth living. And, as of my viewing of this video, 5 years later than when it was posted, she's 91 years old now!

@stacyblue1980 4 года назад

I missed this broadcast. I never missed Petula Clark on the radio when I was a little girl. I am almost 40 now. I grew up in a different kinda place. A poor, but more innocent kinda time. We always cherished this woman's songs. I sang along every single time I heard her. She is the very first woman to pull me into singing. We played and sang, as my Grandfather did. And his family. But this was something else! ♥ Petula, Janis, Dusty, Gladys, Exene, .... etc..... Petula was my very, first, personal lady of song. And I have carried on ever since. Petula is another world. I adore her. I still sing along! ♥♥♥
