Petula Clark what a gem. She's still kicking at 92 years old.

She had as many hits as the Beatles.

Take a break and have fun, it's Saturday

A hit-making machine without tats, piercings, autotune, or bleeps.

She also released a number of records in French. I recall noting that looking through her records in stores so many years ago now.

I liked her songs. She recorded some of them in French also, and I can remember we sang along with some of them in French class.

This song is about the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where The Beatles played nearly 300 times in 1961-3 before hitting it big.

So much of the music of the past was positive or romantic.

It is so much fun to find this among the posts to Free Republic. The place I knew was the Den of the Hong Kong Hilton in 1970-71. Great place to hang out after 2-3 months in the Delta.
