Petula is such a wonderful singer. She touches my heart with her voice. I'm only 19, but 60's and 70's is my favorite era. I also like 40's and 50's!!! 80's are ok...just not like from years before. These old songs had such magic and love without sex or drugs or alcohol being incorporated into it. Sigh, I want to go back in time!
i remember when elvis started back in vegas, she was reported to have been standing on her chair screaming for the king... gotta love another elvis fan.
Petula's live vocals are (as always) great, but the band! God! Listen on decent equipment: they barely know the melody, vary the beat so that Pet claps to herself to re-sync with them when they slow; and the backing singers can't decide whether to be sharp or flat.

Petula Clark's music was one of my fondest memories of growing up in the sixties. She was a pretty English lady who sang catchy pop love songs. Ya can't get better than that!!
way better than the song today. i love the 60's saw oprah the other night repeat and justin beiber was on with charice. i give charice credit. but justin lord have mercy i don't what the chick see just a guy. but vocally not a billy j. kramer or peter noone.
..Harkens back to the time when ladies had CLASS... no need for tattoos.Crazy outfits..showing all the skin. SHE ROCKED. How sad that there is so little of her talent and class in the music world today.
I also love this song and Petula's voice. Let's not forget though. She didn't write it. Tony Hatch did. He also wrote, "Downtown". These two songs wouldn't have happened without him!
I love music...all kinds...this is my first ever song that I heard and loved. 44 years later and I can go back to my childhood and I still love this song...Thanks Petula
This was probably shortly before a break in the programme. The beep was to let Petula know that the coffee was prepared and ready for her to drink after the song. Otherwise there was the danger that she might have added another verse, professional that she is, and her coffee would have been cold.
Considering she didn't like the song, it must have been a bit of a pain having to sing it everywhere when it then went to the Number One spot on the Billboard charts and in cities all over the US and Canada for a couple of weeks in February, 1966. Just goes to show that you never know WHAT'S going to be a hit, at least not back then, when music was still great.
I love this song and LOVE Pet Clark..I've read sometime ago that she actually didn't like this song...But none the less I am glad she sang it...she's an angel....
Hark! What's that I hear?? No, not the lame band but the surreptitious copyright holders ofver and Sofa Entertainment/Andrew Solt ripping this fun clip from a 1966 Ed Sullivan show right off of youtube. What stinkers.
Incredible to hear a pop music singer remain entirely on key!

@csm1701 It's probably Ed Sullivan's orchestra.

Yeah I totally love this song even though it was made 12 years before I was born. Her pronunciation is perfect and the words just roll out.
Considering what she has achieved, she is surprising quite un-famous.
I guess her private life is too innocent for the tabloids.
A true roll model.
