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?
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 RUclips 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!!!
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!!
Gorgeous voice, gorgeous hair & smile....and absolutely BEAUTIFUL spirit and personality! I love her still!!! Great story CBS!
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.
I saw Petula in New York this past December. She was so much better than I expected. Great show and terrific audience...many well deserved standing ovations.
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.
True beauty shines forever...what an icon!
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. 🕊
Wow, 85 years old and still kicking out the JAMS...Happy for ya, Petula.😁😎
Petula sings so beautifully in French. She is a joy and I for one would love to meet her.
Same here Charles.
We love her voice and her looks. She was and still is phenomenal !
Wow...fantastic voice at 85! Amazing.
She let us know we get older, but never get old! She looks fabulous!
It is literally amazing that she has been in the business 80 years. Who can forget that string of 60s hits? Great, timeless songs performed flawlessly and she can still belt them out.
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 !
Downtown has been one of my favorites since I was 7 so long ago ... Saw Petula in Blood Bros on Broadway and was awestruck all over again .. a very lovely lady who even carried her own Sharpie for fans autograph requests ... So sweet and so kind
This woman is ageless so glad she's still around 🤗
Petula Clark is beautiful and a living legend keep on keeping on wonderful music!!
There will never be anyone like Petula again - ever
PETULA, a super loving lady. The DIVA of the 1960s, Please give her DAMEHOOD.
Great great my favorite
What? What? What? She's not a Dame? She's a Dame in every other queen's eyes.
She is a Dame .....
A great dame, indeed!
Thank you so much Jane P. & CBS producers for doing this piece! I love stories about women I admired as a kid. And, I LOVE that she is not "retired," and going strong and working and living an active life! Cannot wait to I get to see her live, now that I know she is still performing. I cut my hair in the 5th grade because I wanted to look like Petula Clark!~
Loved the interview with Petula Clark, and have always enjoyed her music. Amazing at 85!
I saw Petula in Austin, Texas about three years ago. I loved it! Petula is still great!
When "Downtown" hit the U.S. charts I remember my father saying that he had seen or heard her in England during World War II. Great to see a great lady's story and see the actual newsreel clips of her singing as a child sensation.
Thank you for the story of pet clarks life. She is one of my favorite singers ever
So good to know that Petula is still on the road. Rock on, sister.... Why hasn't our Pet been Damed????
Better yet why hasn't she been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame!
It is not for everyone
@@user-ky6vw5up9m The R&R Hall Of Fame is for anybody who as had a big influence on the music industry and I know that Petula covers that a great deal more than some.
"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.
Omg 85 years old and not a bloody wrinkle on her she looks absolutely amazing,she has just celebrated her 87th birthday.
Wow what a lady just beautiful
Fantastic woman. This is how each of us would like to age. Respect. Trinidad & Tobago.
Been dancing to Petula since the early 1970s..as a five year old kid! STILL a fan!!
That was fascinating, a lot of things I didn't know. I always thought (still do) that Petula had (has) a certain elegance. Despite her great success, she is very down to earth and quite amusing sometimes. We love you Pet.
So good to see someone remembered from my youth, still out there, singing away & looking good!
When she's 105 she'll still be going strong.
Petula is an amazing person. At the age of 85 she still sings and looks good, let's hope that there are a few more years in her yet.
And a much deserved DAMEHOOD to go along with her very much deserved CBE.
@@darrenplumpton9737 Here here! Why hadn’t she got one?
I always loved Petula Clark, 8th grade 1966 she my #1. Simply amazing at 85 🤗
Thanks for the post 👍
Priceless interview. Amazing. Been a fan since I was 6 in 1965 when I heard downtown. ....
Thank You! That was WONDERFUL! I'm glad Pet is still out there performing and being happy! GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the great music!
love Petula Clark.....a legend in the music industry
We love you Petula. Thank you for all what you did.
Just saw her in NYC last week. Totally blown away. Bravo!
One of my favorites by Petula Clark..."A Sign Of The Times"..I love the song
Absolutely fabulous Petula Clark. "A Sign of the Times"
Loved her music when I was in grade school. And still love it now
85? I can't think of anything verbally abusive to say about this woman. She looks great for 85 and her voice is still pretty strong.
Just as an item of curious nature...how is it possible to be 'verbally abusive'on a written format?
GN, "Stickler Syndrome", much?
I saw her when she was a youthful 78.
Saw her last year..... loved her in her day but she doesn't sing good anymore.. ..85 enjoy your life now, give it a rest, know when to leave.....
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.
A woman in gold !
i grew up with her on tv, i am happy to know she is still doing her thing, we all love ya girl
I cannot wait to see her live this autumn. :) My favourite singer since I was 4 years old.
Las Vegas has been my lucky city for hearing Petula Clark on the radio.
Petula performed many times up in Vegas from 1966 to 2010
Just like my lovely Helen Ready, Petula Clark is gorgeous and goes down in history as the lovely ladies of beauty and voices!
You forget Julie Andrews.
She's such a darling
I love this lady! My first crush (I was 6!)
One of my first crushes too!
Mine too!
The new Canadian (French) album is fantastic. One of her best ever albums.
Her voice is mesmerizing, very appealing ,touches heart.
She looks and sounds phenomenal!
I saw her last week in Wilkes Barre. She was wonderful.
Hats off to Petula!
Her voice is deeper. But she is a role model for longevity in an industry known for the opposite. Hope to go and see her in concert before I die-I’m 54.....
My goodness it brings back so many memories
This made my day! 💕
Thank you CBS that was a great segement
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 .
Pet we love you.
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.
Feel great listening to her.
God bless you, my fellow Scorpio! All these years later, and she still has that voice. My Lord, this was the song that helped get me out of a mental funk after 9/11. Those lyrics to DOWNTOWN were very poignant after the Twin Towers were destroyed. To know that she kept spirits strong during the Blitzkrieg with just her voice? To help liven folks with her music for over 4 generations. Thank you, madam...😍🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂😎
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! ♥♥♥
PETULA CLARK IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT WHAT SO EVER THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST OF ALL TIME.
She's one amazing performer, she made some very special hit songs, happy for her.
She's back
Great
The 1st outfit they show her in was the outfit I first saw her in. It was on the Dean Martin Show, boy was she having fun doing a Melody with him.
What a Beautiful voice.... Thank You Petula
Amazing at 85 (or any age) Petula is an inspiration!
Sweet memories.glad to know that she's still alive.
I just loved her Music, my album when I was in grade school. She looks beautiful!! God bless her🙏🙏❤️
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!
Brilliant!
Some people are just incredibly gifted, talented, and blessed. My god what a voice!
Petula Clark is THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST OF ALL TIME.
Such an amazing Lady. Just love Petula
I had the honor of seeing Petula on the road in "Blood Brothers" back in the early 90s. She was a great singer and actress with the drama and hit the comic timing perfectly. Loved her! :)
I treasure my signed 8x10 from her.
What a great story, I never knew she was also in the movies.
Always loved her and her music! Still do! ❤
Awesome. Thank you.
As a kid I grew up listening to you I love you Paula if you're still alive God bless you you were one of the best of the best❤❤❤😂
85 wow wow
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAL AND THIS SONG.JUST AWESOME !
Down town girl is such a Down to earth lady......Lov her to bits x
Her songs are come to mind daily. Love her!
I have love Petula Clark since I was a kid. Still do.... :)
Petula Clarke, you are an incredible inspiration. I've loved you since the 1960s to today!
My name is Franck Gorbeña , I am a fan of Pet , she is so lovely and I love her also . A friend of mine who came from France told me something very sad of her . I was trying to know something about her but nobody was gentle to tell me she is ok. I´m very , very happy to read your commentaires that she is on the stage .
WHAT was das about her
Sad
She deserves to be a Dame without question
Downtown and Kiss me goodbye were Red Hot popular songs in the international pop charts especially in South East Asia, Hong Kong, Malaysia.....
She's still beautiful and sounds great as ever! Loved her music since I was a kid.
Downtown actually topped the US charts in January 1965 which is summer only in the Southern Hemisphere.
I love her song Downtown 🔥🥰! So happy she’s still alive
A lifetime of a love of music that Petula gave me. The memories of a time when life was a little bit more idealic and very happy moments.
Looking good, girl...what an incredibly strong, beautiful voice...as classy as ever. I hope I look as good as u do, if I live to be your age.
Class
Had a bad crush on her in 1965. Still do in 2019.
I love you Petula Clark
