PETULA CLARK - Dear Daddy

As broadcast on 29 February 1960, for ATV's Saturday Spectacular: The Guy Mitchell Show.

Written by Pet's musical accompanist Joe 'Mr Piano' Henderson and her long-time songwriter Jack Fishman, 'Dear Daddy' was thought to have been written about Pet's relationship with her father and manager Leslie Clark. It was issued as a single a few months before this show.

A great "big" fifties ballad that was issued in the U.S. and U.K. showing off a very powerful vocal by a "pre-Downtown" Pet Clark.
