      @@josephweaver5385 You tube sends me a notice whenever someone replies to a comment I make. You and I are so lucky to have lived some of the greatest years in history. I,m even luckier though! I have 2 older sisters. 1 is 5yrs. older and the other 10yrs. older. I got to listen to 50,s and 60,s music whether I liked it or not and what,s not to like? To top it off my dad owned an Auto Body repair shop in Littleton,Ma. where I grew up. I can remember the coupes and hot rods. When I saw the movie American Graffiti it reminded me of sweeping the floor at the garage for my dad! My naive mother worked in the office part time. One day after The Doors released "back door man"" and 1 of the guys was singing I,m a back door man as he was walking across the shop my mother heard him and asked me, what,s a back door man? OMG did I turn red in the face! I could feel it. My answer was ahh, umm, I,m not sure, just ask dad, he should know and ran out of the office! Jeff D.

      Yes, the Americans with their new German friends were able to enjoy the benefits of capitalist prosperity at the time while we Poles had to suffer under the communism imposed on Poland by the Soviets. Yes, your new friends were responsible for the suffering of communism in our country, just as they were responsible for the suffering before. But that didn't bother the Americans!

It remains a favorite and always takes me back to those boyhood days of watching the excitement of city life swirl around me ... even though I'm a backcountry boy now.

    The humility of these singers is admirable, she looked as thought she was proud to sing for the audience.. humbled, the way she covered her mouth with that innocent smile. Not something you see today.

      MG Stevens Rubbish. She was a child star (actress and singer) before this song was released and she went on to have several hits. I adored both JJ and Pet Clark when I was growing up. There’s room for different types of music and talents. We can appreciate more than one type, surely.

    I love this song ....... and it's Billboard timing [December, 1964 - through at least March, 1965] as well as its lyrics hold a very special place in my heart. I was in a very private, very religious boarding high school and "my Downtown" was every 3 Saturdays away. And, of course, Petula Clark was an absolute wonderful singer.

    I am 61 years old, I was 6 when this was first broadcast. I loved Dean Martin, the Rat Pack, but my parents didn't let me watch the Martin show. I had a trick where I would sneak down a hallway and hide under a big table and see the show without getting caught. I definitely remember see Petula Clark that night, magic.

    What a career. A child star who grew up. A star in English and French. A Swinging 60s pop singer who was about 10 years older than any other pop singer and so gorgeous that she takes my breath away in clips like this. Oh, and she used to have a daily comic strip in Britain where she caught foreign spies between singing engagements.
