Thanks for the flashback!

I was probably too young to hear this song the year it was a hit but the pop stations kept it in rotation for years. I definitely remember hearing it on the radio later in the 1960s as I got a little older. A specific memory is from around 1968 when I was in first grade. My mother used to drag us into downtown Boston on the subway to do shopping. We'd stop at the Jordan Marsh and get blueberry muffins which was the highlight of the trip for me. For some reason, this song reminds me of those blueberry muffins and the subway.

Looked up Petula Clark. She's still alive and kicking at the age of 83! Here is a video of her singing this song in concert - just a couple years ago! So when I say alive and kicking, I'm serious about the kicking part.

Weird trivia, in 1968, Petula Clark was apparently the first woman to make physical contact with a black man on TV. Supposedly it created quite the stir at the time.
