Petula Clark Where did we go wrong.

One of Pets less known but I think best records. Not released as a single in the UK which is a shame as I'm sure it would have done at least as well as her others. It's sad that all the 'real' singers seem to have all but disappeared.

Lovely voice, lovely song, lovely era, lovely woman ...

@cytotoxix

You are so right on all counts especially the last one.

[lindasuekristen]

You have to hear this on the original LP to appreciate the resonance of her voice when she drags out the words. I brought her LP's as a kid in Michigan with my parents S&H Green Stamps that they used to get at gas-up. A remarkable voice.

[conniff44]

I have to agree with you Linda, there is a quality about vinyl that is not present on any other media.

Hello conniff44, it is great to receive correspondence from you again. Sorry about my mispelling this great singer's forename. It is actually Petula and not Patula. I almost cried while listening to Francoise Hardy's "All Over the World". The song is sad yet beautiful. Perhaps I felt sad also because that kind of era is no more. It takes courage for a

35-year-old man to admit feeling this way, but there you have it. My parents lived in a wonderful era, and I envy them.

[conniff44]

It's a pleasure to correspond with you. I'm also from your parents era and I have to agree that is was a wonderful era for discovery and music.

It's such a shame that we don't have the freedom and choice now that we had then. All the music released now sounds exactly the same and you certainly can't sing along or whistle along with many of them.

i was in viet nam when this song came out,i was dear johned by my girl friend at the time and while listing to this song one night i damn near blow my frikin brains out,its not a good song to listen to if youve just been dumped belive me,non the less pet clark was an awsome singer and really put soul into her music

[WSenkow]

In my opinion, her flagship song. It would not surprise me at all if it inspired and influenced Joey Heatherton's rendition of "Gone" found here as well. I have not checked out the release dates but it could even be the other way around!

Thanks conniff44 for including the wonderful work!

This song was on top of the hit parade in South Africa in the mid sixties.

Does anybody know where I can get the lyrics?

[Orion3741]

ALWAYS a pleasure to revisit this CLASSIC. Season's greetings to all Petula Clark fans.

Usually the album songs not released as singles are known only to people who ownned the album or heard it at a friend's or relative's place more than just a couple of times. The DJs very rarely play them.

One of my all-time favorite songs! Thanks so much for posting this. I do believe that Susan Boyle could cut this song and give it a much-deserved second life!

[KaninFamily]

This L.P. cut form her 1966 MY LOVE (Pye/Warner Bros) album actually reached #1 in Rodesia! They must be serious music lovers there! Petula wrote the lyrics and Tony Hatch composed the music.

[Waynescott1]

in 1968-9, New York City's WOR-FM played this alot as an LP cut!

[djsujeevan]

wow such a beautiful voice !

[IDLERACER]

This song was released as a single by a group called "The Sands Of Time" (also on the PYE label and produced by Tony Hatch) but it did not chart in the UK or the US.

@rbrown540 Thank you!. 

[rbrown540]

@victor23rh It's a Pet Clark original, written by Petula and Tony Hatch.
