A talent for 7 decades and running. She is more magnificent that any single generation can appreciate because she straddles a number of them.

What a special lady. A gift from God to all who listen and watch. God given talent!

I am so fond of Petula and her incredible talents. What a legacy she gave to us.

This lady is still drop dead gorgeous. I’m watching in 2021

Petula Clark really changed the world actually with her art. When she sang she really wanted it to reach the ears of the world. For me as a kid in third grade when “Downtown” was a hit, it kept me sane during a very rough family life. I loved her then and I love her now and I’m so happy she is the person she is. Her art translates universally into beauty and life. I thank her for it

Petula Clark:WHAT A PHENOMENAL CAREER. NO ONE that I can name as this on their CV. Child Star, Superstar Pop Star,Film Star,Star of Las Vagas and Broadway. Songwriter.Musical Theatre Actress. Her UNMATCHABLE voice is a crystal clear, pinpoint accurate with every note. The way she interprits her songs is in just another class of it's own. There is not a type of song that she can not sing. So much so that she can take a classic song by someone else and do her version of it and from then on she totally owns it as well. Petula Clark is THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST OF ALL TIME.

I was a teenager back in the 1960's and remember Petula being all over American television singing her great songs.

I was a teenager when I heard "Downtown" and became a lifelong fan of Petula Clark. Even my parents's generation liked her.

We love you Petula and we admire you. Thank you for all what you achieved.

She is currently still performing on stage in 2021 at the age of 88, playing the Bird Woman in the West End production of Mary Poppins. Incredible.

Petula Clark is to music what Audrey Hepburn was to film 100% pure class.

Downtown is about the love of the city at night...it can cheer you up at the end of the day....

I loved her songs and voice since the 60’s and still do. I’ve never gotten tired of her music.

Petula Clark's talent is unrivaled as an artist of many aspects but it will always be the fearlessness that I heard in her songs and the way that she delivered them with everything on the line that will continue to inspire me.

Petula Clark ought to be in the so called Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Shows you what a sham that museum/mausoleum is.

Saw her live right before the virus - GREAT show and her voice was fantastic....GO.

Love her music I only wish I could go back best days of my life

Petula Clark, una delle voci che incanta l'anima sensibile musicale, che ti fa compagnia come l'acqua di ruscello di montagna, ti rilassa, il migliore antidoto per chi soffre di solitudine. Grazie

I have always loved Petula's music. Her music still makes me happy when I hear it!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! My! There is not any female singer past or present that I have loved more than Petula Clark. The first time I heard "Down Town" I became a life long fan. There is never a song on any of her albums that I don't like. There is just nothing she cannot sing. I actually got to see her on stage in Las Vegas during the 80's. It was a magical night for me. I had a wonderful seat and I wanted to get up and tell her how special she was, but of course did not do that, just wanted to. I was a little surprised at how tiny she was. I have asked my family to play Down Town at my service when I pass, that is how much I love it. God Bless her! Such talent God gave her, and she used it so wisely.

Wow! I had no idea about her life and career. Simply amazing. And I only knew of a couple of her songs.

Excellent! Love everything Pet Clark!

An awesome lady , the Brits would never let her grow up they loved the little girl in the Huggets and they wanted her to remain that sweet little English rose ,so she went to France to grow up and she became an international singing star around the world , but I dont think we ever forgave her . Its time to recognise her for what she is a singing legend , we have rightly honoured Andrews , Bassey , and Lynn now its time to do the proper thing and add Petula Clark to that list before its too late .

Petula is not only beautiful outside she is also beautiful and lovely outside. I still love her today💕

Miss Petula Clark, Wow what a talented, bueatiful, sexy, lady. I first heard her singing, oh possible as early as 64 or 65 there or about. Two older sisters, five cousins in the states, 78lps, 45's , the Am-Fm radios. Her talent was very present, both in Canada @ the USA. Became charmed by her voice then, and still love,- crave it today. Just this morning I watched her tribute too Miss Karen Carpenter, oh how touching, @ loving. So then I found her Interview - documentary, so I just had to watch it. Thank you so very much. Rock @ Sing on "PETULA". God Bless.

I can still recall the first time i heard DOWN TOWN.It was December 10,,1964.we in the middle of a force10 grigale storm in the Mediterranen sea on board H.M.S. Surprise.Along with this song another three songs i remember well,they I COULD EASELY FALL /Cliff ,I FEEL FINE /The Beatles and Glad All Over /Dave Clarke Five

Petula has been my favorite singer since my days at college in England in the 1960's

Petula Clark is an all time great female singer

I was only s toddler when this song released and from ever since this voice brought melody to my ears madam Petula you rank high amounst the very best singers of all times

In the USA, we had no idea that Petula had already had a successful British career since childhood. To us, she was brand new, and another part of the British Invasion. In fact she was not only far more experienced than the rest of the British performers, she was actually older than them as well.

The iconic, DOWNTOWN features the best middle eight in history, those wonderful horns that just tear through you and excite every cell in the body. Haven't heard anything that comes close since.

She was my first crush as a kid. I have never understood why their is no "Dame Petula Clark". She has had a long and blessed life. Thank you, Petula Clark.

My Mother absolutely loved her. I grew up listening to her records 🌺

A Global Treasure. Glad I had the privilege of seeing her perform in 2007.

She was an outstanding singer and performef.

Wow, fascinating! I always thought Petula Clark was just a 3-hit wonder my Mum listened to as a teen in the 60s. I’d no idea her career began as a young child and that she’d entertained the troops in WWII.

The best ever, in any language. Been my favorite since I was 10 years old and I still love everything she does.

Brilliant! Thank you....

What an Amazing Lady, what an amazing career. Great talent, and fantastic performer!

Always one of my favorites

We just loved watching the Petula Clark Show. It brought back many fond memories. Petula's voice is so beautiful and a wonderful gift to listen to. Thank you all for putting together such a fantastic gift for all. John and Byron

wonderful Petula

I used to roller skate to her music at the rink every weekend. Such good memories. Thanks Pet!

Alison and I saw petula in Glasgow a few years ago wonderful totally brilliant

I love her

"Downtown" still gives me chills. Perfect recording.

I just love her, I always have, I remember being five or six years old and dancing and singing in front of the radio to " down Town!

Tony Hatch. Probably the most underrated song writer of the 60s

Always so lovely.

What a remarkable life. Though obviously she still has her fans, she has been largely forgotten by 2018. Clearly her life stands on it's own merits and nobody is super-famous forever. She comes across as a very well adjusted & down to earth person. It's perhaps this lack of a wounded soul & the ensuing drama & pathos that makes for a less spectacularly tragic legacy, but certainly a much happier personal life for her. A life well-lived is it's own reward and needs not public validation.

I have loved her since I was a child, going through my parents' albums and finding her. I still have those albums and she sounds completely timeless! I think that "Where Did We Go Wrong" is my favorite song from her.

one of the greatest!!!!!...love her singing---such a unique voice..thks Petula!!!!

Astonishing. As a 60+ yr old American, amateur musician, growing up with top 40 radio, and later, becoming a Broadway musical fan, living in NYC for 30 years, I was well aware of her diverse talents. And I am truly a Tony Hatch fan for all his work with PC and other artists, as well as his TV themes ( I also am a British cult TV fan, during the Lew Grade/Gerry Anderson, etc. era). To me, Tony is another Burt BACHARACH, Jimmy Webb, Laura Nyro. But I had no idea.... NO IDEA...that before PC hit us, she was a veteran seasoned professional already a star of TV, screen etc. No clue. Wonderful show.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing this great show about such a Fantastic lady!! Loved it!

I get the feeling Petula is a very private person who fights to be 'the star' that people expect to see, but absolutely loves to get home, kick off her heels and be a real human being again. But the fact that all her life she has done this amazing act is testament to her extraordinary strength. I really feel that she has traded so much to bring her beautiful music to people that if anyone deserves her incredible life of success it is her. What an incredible lady, and although while very young she became an international celebrity, favoured particularly by European viewers and listeners, Britain - and especially Wales - will always feel immensely proud of their most lovely daughter. And christ-on-a-bike, what a voice!!!

Petula Clark made her first public performance as a very young girl at the masonic Lodge in Rhymney Gwent UK. She lived during the war in a small mining village called Pontlottyn in the Rhymney Valley as evacuee from the bombing in WW2

Loved her here in the U.S. Still have all my LPs.

Petula covered a lot of beatle songs in the past, brilliantly so. I have never been able to find any recordings .

Amazing artist. I remember her singing when I was a tiny tot. I liked her then. She's got better with time.

Love the nice pieces with Jackie Trent commenting. After all Jackie was a great song writer and wrote some hits for PC. I still love Jackie Trent over all other singer/songwriters of the 60s. God Bless Jackie she lost a lot, after marriage to TH.

When she was on Ed Sullivan my father told me that he had seen her when she he was in England during WWII. WOW THAT WAS GREAT.

A brilliant female singer and there will be no female singer to better her. Fabulous voice and modern artists should take note of her brilliance and longeavaty . A child female entertainer during the 2nd World war. Fabulous lady with a voice of an Angel. Her songs are so clear to understand unlike some modern entertainers . Great singer

Petula was my idle, l have everyone of her albums and I still play them today at the age of 73.

She becomes an English rose 🌹 while in France. How exciting for her!

She puts energy in and the audience gets energy out. Like a BP Clark Superstar from the 60s. Always got a nice little deal at the Clark Gas Station. Healthy Emotions are in focus and Ms Clark has a position there. This is good for me even at this late date. Good for my health, Brian~Koller

Thank you for sharing. ... Amazing this artist is indeed.

Wow...what a wonderful show. Thanks so much for posting it. Ironic in that I'd never seen Jackie Trent interviewed about Pet before, and to see it here just a week of so after Jackie's death. Also very surprised to see so many clips of Pet's mid 60's BBC show, 'This is Petula Clark', as I'd heard all the tapes had been erased years ago. I so envy Dusty's legion of fans who have so much of her BBC shows from the 60's, yet for Petula, the BBC supposedly have nothing.

The first song I ever remember is "Downtown." It was the only word I understood in the song but it shaped me forever--I knew at the age of 3 that the city was the place to be and I should be an urbanite.

LOOKS SO NATURALLY GOOD FOR HER AGE. ITS AMAZING.

Absolutely wonderful story of a great performer's life -an eye-opener and so informative!

Loved this.....so strange, I listened to her hits just yesterday.......love her 💓🇨🇦

Fantastic singer. great songs.

I have 2 or 3 Petula Clark albums but they are in storage, my record player having broken yrs ago. Sang along with them, love her voice! Thanks for this!

The first time I heard 'Downtown' I fell in love with the song, it was just around the time of Expo '67 in Montreal and I lived in Montreal, a teenager who had just witnessed the Beatles performing Live at the Montreal Forum in 1964. Downtown, fit perfectly into the mood of the day and the times. So I took interest in Petula Clark from a distance, and then she came out with more and more hits, which I loved, and suddenly times and mood changes, no hits from Petula, other interests, she faded away. She wasn't lost on me though, and I find myself oddly enough, gravitating towards her again and again through the years wanting to hear her sing one of her songs, and then all of the memories start rushing back in, of the era of my youth. Today as an adult, and older man, I still gravitate to her vocal signature. She's hearty in her delivery and impressionistic in her story telling. I do play her songs, and likely will play a few of hers again tonight. Love you Petula Clark, you're an inspiration to us all.

Thanks for posting this. I've loved her music since my Dad brought her first album home when I was only 9.

I got to see her in the early 2000 at Twin Towns here in Australia, and I also have a LP with Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, love their music.

Petula 💯💙

I love Petula Clark.I grew up with Downtown my mom played it and played the whole album.Iwas hooked and AT the age of 12 I bought her every hit.My girlfriend and I would sing Downtown I. fro t of our neighbour.😁💋💓🎵🎶🎤

Downtown has always been my all- time favorite song.

She’s 87 now in 2019 and the fame won’t go on forever, Downtown wasn’t one of my favourites, I Know a Place’ was in 1965 when she was 30 and I was 9 - 53 years ago.

Loved this thank you for posting. Of all her songs I have, it always seems like She gives advice on downtown and don't sleep in the subway I feel like she is a therapist. I get a kick out of her and I love her with all my heart

I had no idea she had such depth. Her hit “Downtown” was only one of her successes, and her singing was only a small part of her talent.

Petulant Clark was a big hit with me when she sang DownTown. It was a theme song for me because I was one of the Terminal Tower boys back in a day in Cleveland. It brings back tons of memories...

chathan43 thanks for posting this. what an amazing artist.

Este documental es un gran tributo a su gran carrera como cantante y un reconocimiento a su legado musical que nos ha dejado. Honor a quien Honor merece, Gracias por todo ello.

Ah, the 60's, and beyond.

Petula also appeared on the Dean Martin Show, many times. So talented 👏 ✨️ 💖

Keep up the good work petula clarke you are beautiful person ❤ 💙 you are lovely singer love ❤ noel gallagher Dublin 5 l have seen you Toronto some years ago

Her best album ever is Vu d'Ici recorded a few years ago. If you haven't heard it, listen so some songs on KZfaq and then buy it.

This is a great song, I'd hear it a lot in the late 70s in Springfield, MA!

Great memories and I was so thin in those days!

Strange how people put Dusty and Cilla in the same sentence...no comparison.

A truly excellent and engaging documentary here! Many thanks.

'Color My World' grabs my existential core like only a handful of other songs do.

Thanks Dave, we had a lot of fun making that album and John Bromley's lyrics were great too.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this with Pet's fans! =)

My head of year who we called HM was a complete utter fan and when he played certain songs in assembly in the mornings would give us the clue as to what type of mood he was in ...Brentside high what a brilliant place xx

The best music to have in the background while living. I want to thank her and all the others who made life magical with their music.

As far as going downtown, years ago it was so much fun to get dressed up to just go shopping at stores, and smaller fun shops, even the five and dime, and get lunch, or in the evening to a good movie and dinner, or to a concert or play or go dancing and get an ice cream. We used to be able to go window shopping, and just look at the new styles of clothes, but not buy. Some cities have peaceful places, such as parks that are safe where you can stroll. In Salt Lake City, we have Temple Square with all of the pretty flowers, trees, fountains, pools, statues, visitors centers, and sometimes very uplifting concerts and plays. And there are four places to eat, from casual soup, salad and sandwiches at the “Nauvoo Cafe” to a very nice place called “The Roof” on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I think you need a reservation, There are other special activities and places there too. Up on top is also “The Garden” to eat at, and a building or two away is the Lion House Pantry where you can get very nice food, served cafeteria style...I got prime rib one Christmas. During the day, there is the Family History Library, the Church Museum, the Church History Library....and you could spend a full day or two and not see or do everything. At different times of the year, there are three places for concerts, and a theater for special productions. puls there is a theater to go to learn more about The Church and the gospel.

She’s England’s Barbara Streisand……a class all of her own! ✨🦋
