[stevescissors]

Beautiful song, beautiful lady! I love this song. Thanks for the post.

[HickysBoy]

How did we go from this lovely, talented woman to a half-naked bimbo in stilettos falling off a piano?

[LTF6161]

Class.

[normski2260]

listened to her in the sixties on my parents gramophone loved her voice since a real singer

[happy2bhere2day]

DESPITE THE LOUD SCREAMS, SHE MANAGED TO STAY IN KEY. WHAT A TALENTED ARTIST.

[DollyAU]

Dolly AU xxxx

"Softer than a sigh..." That's good writing. And just a lovely lady singing it.

[phyzzique]

Petula is so wonderful! Great talent.........'My love', what a wonderful song. She really belts this one outta the park.

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

I wish I was her love. She is just plain hot!!!!

[derf66]

What's so cool about Pet Clark was that not only was she a big part of the British Invasion of the 60s, unlike the members of music acts like the Beatles, the Stones and the Supremes who started to make the scene while in their late teens/early 20s, Petula was already an established singer/actress in the UK (going back to her childhood) who was already in her 30s and married when she hit big here in the USA. Pet, you're still the best!

[MultiHotNERD]

@derf66 the implication that the Supremes were part of the British invasion is incorrect. That's analogous tosaying Dean Martin was already an established singer in the 60's. You are equating apples and oranges

[derf66]

@MultiHotNERD I should've written my comment a little more clearly. I know the Supremes were not part of the British invasion - how could they be? - They were from Detroit, Michigan! What I was trying to say was that many of those music acts that made it big in the 1960s - whether American or British - were in their late teens and early 20s. Petula Clark was 32 when "Downtown" hit #1 in the US in 1964. But she was famous in the UK long before then. Ciao.

[Twom44]

Shake it baby!!! Awesome.

[helithopter]

What a pain for her, singing before all that screaming. Guess it would not have been the first time.

[searcherboy]

The cool thing about this is that she's not lip-synching, unlike almost all the clips from 60's hit-parade shows on YouTube. A few notes are off, but you can really hear how good her voice was.

[MarkinDC]

@searcherboy Nice to see this done live, and these were normally lip-synched. Notice Pet is nowhere near the orchestra, she probably couldn't hear them for all the screaming. She's great nonetheless........

[toonlvr1]

Classic and classy, a very classy lady. I have always loved this song. Great post and thanks bunches for posting it.

[vleija123]

I have been in love with this lady since I was 8 yrs old, my mother has the original album, I used to play it without her permission, but she never minded. she knew.

[Dakers11]

Wow ! Really great. No voice enhancement either.

[preciousjey]

shake pet shake. my love this song hehe

[hildman5]

a anther very good video of petula clark.

[NTC335]

名曲だぁね☆

[GeorgeGeorge7]

She is total talent ! The music is a bit out, But she still holds it together throughout the performance. I love the little que's she throws to the group to pick it up but they seem to be refusing to do so. As a professional she appears to be totally unbothered by this. Very cool.

[2008ljr]

Can anyone tell me where she was performing?

[Dremwolf]

Her talent and the way her fans love her is proven by this short little 2:20 song that was such a hit yesterday to today.

[barilko5551]

Thand you Pet...God Bless you...and all the best to you!!! - thank you for such great memories!!! love ya!!!...Paul

[TheDarkDresser]

@zebratangozebra LOL...This is one of the funniest YouTube post I've ever read; the other one was when a ticked-off man gave his home address, with his apartment number, and challenged the person he was angry with to come by for a fight.

[ravehyper]

haar mooiste plaat

[bluejayday2009]

Petula has always been a first class singer and person. this has always been one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME--

the simple lyrics and great tune are Petula magic. She is by far the BEST female vocalist of all time. God bless-

and thank you Pet for all your songs!

[christophkoenig]

und morgen kommt das Urmeli!?

[barilko5551]

Thank you PET- i have always loved you and it wont change !!! trhanbk you and god bless you!!!!

[barilko5551]

fLAT????? THIS LAd DY IS NOTHING BUT CLASS!!!! ! ALWAYS W3AS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!!!!!

[dafydd28]

She never liked this song. For years, she would perform it as a ballad.

[1965JWP]

The rhythm section stinks, and the tempo is about as steady as an arhythmic heart. I would not blame her a bit. Of course, with all the god damn screaming going on, it doesn't help. If you go listen to the original, it is real obvious that the band is not helping her out one bit...in fact, right at the beginning, she is using her body language to get them to follow her...to no avail.

[leophilippines]

it's true...her body language helps the band...the original recording is excellent...

[fead1]

very very flat like she didn't want to be there

[suziestew]

xxxx

I remember this a child..

and I fell in love with it...

& again tonight I found it again....

xxx

[visor109]

This version seems flat...like she was forced to sing it. Not much soul in this copy.

[festdave]

I think the live recording just isn't great audio quality. It's obviously mono.

[preciousjey]

i love the part where those girls are clapping

[barilko5551]

ya the guy just walks past - funny - but wow what a voice - what a great time - what do we have now...rap-hip hop - what a load of shit - a bunch of semi-illerates making millions with no talent- sounding all the same - wonder what these jerks will be listening to in 20 yrs...God forbid

[brian6078]

I know,even the movies are a load of crap111

[castillianwagon500]

@barilko5551 We have these days is allot of music that preaches hate , violence and altering consciousness with dangerous drugs ! And yeah WHAT A VIOCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[preciousjey]

notice a guy behind petula on stage at 1:03

[HickysBoy]

Real singer with a real voice! Real music with lyrics, melody, harmony and rhythm.

[thebackwardkings]

This is a happy song... a fave of the BK's

[preciousjey]

i clapped like that girl in my car

[preciousjey]

and sounds like you're the one he

he

[preciousjey]

nice song kind of sounds like a country song

[dnash27]

I remember she once told Ed Sullivan she'd make him a Yorkshire Pudding - Ha!

[barilko5551]

What a gorgeous lovely lady!!!!!!

[bgarrettmeadows]

I grew up watching Petula Clark on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was until I was much older I really appreciated her monumental talent. She is definitely a sixties icon. thanks for posting this great video.

[Yesimustbestupid2]

The 1960's American youngster's reaction to this performance shows that the U.S. audience wasn't just reacting to British men artists doing well in the states but would except any British artist at that time including a woman who was a bit older than them -- as long as she was British.

[iamschmoopy]

Yeah, it was amazing the whole British Invasion phenomenon. I have a live album from The Kinks from around 67 or 68, and you can barely hear the band. All you hear is screaming.  Petula Clark and Dusty Springfield were tops in my book for female British singers..

[donnamariemoreno27]

Ah...love this song! Nice melody as well... what show was this performance at? Thanks for posting!
