Petula Clark - I Don't Know How to Love Him

[edwardnorton04]

B52sguy---well said. A very powerful song, to say the least.

[labanlabansson]

Is this playback? Where is the microphone?

[B52sguy]

There are absolutely no words known to man that can descibe the feelings I get from listening to this song. Perfect is inadequate.

[kennyddd1]

boy was this chick underated or what? Yea sure she  was the most succesful female artist from the UK ever but she never really got her due when looking back at the all time greats. Not necessarily a great singer but her voice was so appealing and sweet.

[faltskog36abba]

lovely performance by pet,the best bit when she first sings-but he scares me so..lovely,agnetha did this in the swedish production and was great too,check out cilla blacks version from 73,thats a great version also,love this song.

[UglySean]

Oh wow I didn't know there was actual footage for this song.

Can you say "angel"?

[vaslav030547]

Just THE BEST!

[dragontooth81]

Yvonne Elliman OWNs this song. I havent heard a better version yet... Though Agnetha Foltskog is pretty good.

[demonhoopa]

Well done. Probably one of the best versions I've heard of this song. After Yvonne Elliman and Sarah Brightman of course.

[zappadead13]

pet rules

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

I didn't know they had such nice hair salons back in Nazareth's time! hm.

<3.

[marko723]

Nice version from a classy lady!!

[kern39743]

she is so damd cute

[fetishsmoker19]

I saw her in concert in Blackpool in 1982 and she was amazing,and she finished her concert with this song and petula put her heart and soul into it.

[kg2lk]

No doubt it was different, but still good......I think many singers could do a better job.......B-

[bedlow1]

stunning and brillant 

[louisecp72]

I think this version is magnificent as she really interprets the song differently to the usual versions in situ in the musical. Not to say she is better or worse than Elliman; they are both good. The best version of this I have heard by Petula though was on TV in 1978 but the clip doesn't seem to be on YouTube.

[georgieonmymind]

What is she wearing?????

[rickyross3359]

@georgieonmymind she was heavy pregnant at the time with third child also maybe the smock like dress would have been worn by Mary Magdaline?

[georgieonmymind]

@rickyross3359 ok, thanks :)

[rickyross3359]

no she was well pregnant with her third child 1972

[Rogue18a29]

No emotion, no range... average at best.... boring actually...

[buddha860]

@Rogue18a29 I'm with you, I love listening to Petula Clark but this is ordinary exactly how you describe it. Which is a shame for the band in the background because they're great. Hey though, I guess she's got a lot going on with that big belly. I reckon performing when your that pregnant is a mistake, your heart couldn't be anywere else but in your body. I have been known to talk shit too.

[vintagerosenz]

At the beginning it didn't look like the 70's! Looked like only a couple years old! Then the audience came into view and I realised. I think because Petula still wears that sort of clothes still.

[liddyhaha]

finally! someone who interpreted the song and didn't just go for the melody!

[nitramgnal]

One of THE faces of the swinging sixties.

[PupuTheClown]

What year is this ?

[weegordon48]

@PupuTheClown

Entered UK charts January 1972 along with Yvonne Elliman's version both reached #47

[xenonn69]

bonita la bikinga...nada más...

[zzzippo55]

best photos of her i have seen young. very good i am surprised she did this she was in everything!

[Heytarn]

is she cold?

[mow111]

Petula Clark offers, for me, the definitive version of this song. She interprets every word and brings the song to life with more meaning than any other version I've seen.

[zebratangozebra]

What a voice.

What a presence.

What a face.

Incredible.

[thomkong]

Wow, what a great version

I, too like agnetha's better but this takes it for the live.  puts yvonne to 3 and reddy to 4. like reddy though

[toransocalderon]

this is a wonderfull version but I think Agnetha Faltskog´s version is the best version.

[magovenor]

Yvonne Ellimans version, no equal!

[annachestnut]

is she pregnant in this video? I love the highs and lows of this song.

[ronaldosucks1]

i agree philip --HR's voice displays a childish vunerabilty which is great and called for in this song--rather than sock it to them, but could she sing Downtown like PC?

[2Roo7ted]

yucky, I guess this is one of those songs you got to hear live, like most musicals, it is journey of the story that creates the foundations, the missing ingredent they are missing, being trapped in the tale.

[philip0460]

I love Petula Clark; however, this is Helen Reddy's first big hit... it's Helen's song and no one else's version is even close.

[rickyross3359]

I did like Helen's version which yes was a hit in the USA - however Petula really does to it justice and had the biggest selling version in the UK and France. She is gorgeous and yes she was preggers with 3rd child.

[whathoney73]

I actually prefer Yvonne Ellimans version to all others.

[JohnVBouvier]

agnetha fältskog's brilliant and clear swedish-language version of this song is the best i've ever heard. but this one is also pleasant

[joshblake6]

Yes, her French version of this one is much more powerful.

[laurarobotica]

i remember being drunk with my mom on a campsite at 2am singing this with a bottle of red wine haha. memorys

[clovis1950]

marvellous

[mthivier]

Hard to decide whether I prefer Petula's version of Helen Reddy's. They're both beautiful.

[davie12]

It is even better in French.
