Very underrated singer and her performances are masters. She is still performing in concerts and writing and recording new albums in her mid 80"s. An amazing talent...she deserves much more credit than she gets. Bravo
I saw Petula sing Fool on the Hill in 1968 at the old Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia. The concert was sold out. When she finished singing this...everyone there gave her a tremendous standing ovation. It was an incredible evening.
Possiably her best perfromance on TV. I remember seeing this on Ed Sullian. I remember thinking she was crying when she turned her back to the camera. She's the best comtempory singer ever!
There certainly was a lot of ladies in the Sixties and Seventies who were very good singers indeed. Yes of course I am writing about Dusty Springfield,Lulu, Sandie Shaw, Judy Durham,Cilla Black ect. However NONE of them could ever beat Petula Clark for the different genres of music they sang. This video of Petula shows her singing her own interpretation of the Beatles classic "Fool On The Hill" and it is so,so different to the original version sang by Paul McCartney. Yet with Petula's instinctive voice she carries it off with great aplomb. Her notes are (as always) crystal clear, on point and incredible. From a fast uptempo number such as" My Love" and "I Know A Place" to a slow romantic one "Kiss Me Goodbye" Petula is very precise in every word she sings. This is why with her vocal talents she can sing any song she wants with such marvelous clarity. And WOW!!!! Does she know how to put on a show. As Louise Dean says above Petula is PERFECTION.
I can't believe that this fabulous video has had only 2700 views. It's absolutely marvelous. I've seen just about every Petula Clark You Tube video, and none of them come close to this!
The same month that this aired on The Ed Sullivan Show, Nov. 1969, in England the BBC chose Pet's Royal Albert Hall concert from a month earlier to introduce colour service to their tv network. It aired on Nov.15, 1969-Petula's birthday! Sadly, like many fantastic tv specials of the day, the tapes are either lost or long ago erased.
PETULA CLARK CBE: PETULA WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME. UNEQUALLED IN TALENT AND WITH OUTSTANDING AND SUPERIOR VOCALS PETULA CLARK CBE STANDS IN NO ONES SHADOW (AND I MEAN NO ONES.) ULTRA -BRILLIANT. * PLEASE WATCH THE FULL VERSION ON YOU TUBE IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT PETULA CLARK AT HER ULTIMATE BEST.
Oui et écrite par un jeune homme qui n’a pas encore 25 ans Paul Mac cartney, à 23 ans il avait déjà écrit yesterday la chanson la plus reprise de tous les temps. Écoutez aussi la version de Annie Lennox, elle est magnifique et de Sergio mendes
She is so good that she is beyond anyone knowing what to do with her. Kinda like Karen Carpenter So she ends up with this fantastic voice and hardly anyone knows what to do with it. Because she is so far beyond anyone. And yet she ends up figuring it out by herself anyway. But never getting the total recognition she is due. But then again I think maybe she does.
What an unusual choice of material...well, nobody can accuse Pet of playing it safe and just doing all her Hatch/Trent hits even when perfoming on venues like The Ed Sullivan Show,on which this originally aired, in late 1969. Thanks so much for this posting!
How did you like that live insertion on "Spinning Round Ro Ro ......" with the Echoplex ? Pretty brave doing it live back then on the vocals. Echoplex could be very cranky. Anytime I see an old live video there are lots & lots of comments "Wow -Live" "No Auto tune" "nobody does it anymore" etc etc on & on. If no one likes it, why is it used ? Reject the crap then
She is John Lennon's favorite female singer! That is interesting. I think it's fascinating that she is singing one of the Beatles songs, and a brilliant one at that. She did it well! Unlike the American Idol people, Pet does not seem like she is disrespecting the composing skills of the Beatles. So she can change the melody in certain spots and get by with it! Go Pet, you are one of the best!
Shaun Wakefield: Well said Shaun I agree totally with you in your comment about Petula Clark. NOBODY interprets a song anywhere near as great as Petula Clark.
Esta canción en otra versión no recuerdo por quién pero en ingles se usaba como tema de una telenovela cuando comenzaba y terminaba y aparecía en mi vieja televisión en blanco y negro con un florero lleno de flores sobre una mesa. No sé por qué pusieron esto como tema de la telenovela que ya ni su nombre recuerdo pero si recuerdo este detalle.
This song (not this recording which is nowhere near as good the original performance in England) was first sung by Petula Clark on November 15th 1969 with a Petula Clark concert broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall in London to celebrate Colour TV programs starting officially. If anyone has a copy of that performance I should love to see it again.
@@shaunwakefield9793 ALL OF US "CLARKIES" would ABSOLUTELY love to see this concert by Petula. Why on Earth did the BBC wipe such a monumental part of their (now 100 year) broadcasting history?
Loved Her, Loved Her Hate this arrangement. I can't believe how many people love it. I owned all the 45s she released but for people to say this is the best + it's better than The Beatles. I thought they were kidding - and then adding the reverb made it just sound silly.
It is a different and very distinct and very emotive version of a Beatles classic. It is sometimes really nice to have a new and alternative rendition of a very well known song. THIS is one of those times.
Very underrated singer and her performances are masters. She is still performing in concerts and writing and recording new albums in her mid 80"s. An amazing talent...she deserves much more credit than she gets. Bravo
Underrate? I Guess you are very young. Petula was a Shining Star.
I don't think she is underrate...
If I don't go wrong she was mister lennon 's fav European singer

MARVELOUS Petula.
Great Singer, incredibile talent.
interesting interpretation of this song.
What a voice!
A lovely lady singing my favourite Beatles song. Thank you!
outstanding! what a performance!
She sang The fool on the hill when i seen her perform at the Waldrof Astoria and the crowd went wild with applause and a standing ovation.
When I was a kid, I would listen to my mom's Petula Clark albums.
Gorgeous dress
This the very best version of the fool on the hill i heard. Other singers couldn't compare to Petula Clark.
Perfection

Loved this song and still waiting for a beatles related album from her. She did record a good number of their songs.
Fico maravilhado com a magia dessa música. Petula Clark, você é divina.
Grande interprète.
Everything she did with Frank Owens was Spectacular! hes's conducting and playing Piano!

Eu Te amo Petula Clark
And so DO I Petula.
Does she have a star in Hollywood 's walk of fame?she would had deserved

My favorite ones of Pet are the ones she did with Dino on his show.
They are fantastic together.
I don't think that Petula was ever in better voice than she was here.
she's an angel
Dedico ao Zóio e ao Negão. Zóio meu abraço. Negão... pega leve hein!!!
PC was quite the artist
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUSNESS SINGING！HIGH QUALITY STANDARD ARTIST！BUT... YOU LOOKS HIGHLY "C→ R →A →Z → Y → THIS PERFORMANCE...
Petula is a good actress as well as a singer
@@mikeyenfield Yes Petula is a OUTSTANDING and REMARKABLE actress which is why she interpret her MARVELOUS songs so Brilliantly.
😘💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕Pétula
eu gosto (i like)
Vidéo amputée d'un couplet. "The man with a Thousand voices" was cut. She does sing it though.
Petula' version is far superior than that of Shirley Bassey. who is always given credit for this song.
Shaun Wakefield: Well said Shaun I agree totally with you in your comment about Petula Clark.

ABSOLUTELY 💯 per cent NO EQUAL OR COMPETITION.
BY FAR AND AWAY IT IS PETULA CLARK ALL THE WAY.

it's sometimes good to see this and the past much better than mac cartney as beautiful as the record version
@Vampirebride96
fair enough.
Did this predate the Brasil '66 version?
WHO CARES?
WE ALL KNOW PETULA CLARK IS BY FAR AND AWAY THE GREATEST AND BEST.
saremmo in tanti matti sulla collina solo che non troviamo la...strada
girogio
Se vc ver esse comentário falar comigo por favor preciso falar com vc ugentemente de coração
Seems some people don't like Fools much to their regret.
I think this song fits Trump to a tee!
Pet's a honey...this ain't all that though !!
OH YES IT MOST CERTAINLY IS ALL THAT....AND THEN SOME.
I love Petula but i like more the version of Sergio Mendes
Ear cleaning time as arrived for Mr Sanchez.
I think the melody becomes to much for her. She looks at the autocue with a gesture: WTF.
not sure if i like it
WHY? What's wrong with OLWEN ????
It is a very beautiful name.
I'm sorry but I find this a bit over the top and the spinning rowrowrowrowrowrowround bit is truly awful.
It is a different and very distinct and very emotive version of a Beatles classic.
It is sometimes really nice to have a new and alternative rendition of a very well known song.
THIS is one of those times.
I think no one can sing this song as mccartney, I'm actually a little dissapointed.
Paul (Mr Flat Voice) McCartney?
I DON'T THINK SO.
