    One particular memory her song, 'Downtown' evokes for me is my time working in a residential hospital for adults with learning disabilities. One resident who was severely learning disabled and sightless would only ever show a spark of animation whenever this song was played.She absolutely adored it and would listen to it on a loop 24/7 had it been permitted. The only word of the song she knew was 'Downtown' which she'd belt out with real gusto, then she'd mumble along with the rest of the song. So thank you, Petula, for this.

    For living her entire life in show business, Petula Clark is the most unshowbusinessy individual imaginable. She has always been firmly planted in real life in the best ways.

    What a SPECIAL, spectacular singer and entertainer for us all! If only Fred Astaire could've been there... and I was so dang sad they somehow didn't get Peter O'Toole onscreen to salute her ... & Every moment of Anthony Newley just .. well ... sends me to the admiring stratosphere, so ... GO, PETULA! 🌟🌷You are a WONDER. Thank you for it ALL. xo, VCH & Midlantic Theatre Co., Newark, NJ, U. S. of Bleedin' A. 💗💚💙🙏🐸🌲 🎭🎵 Thx for posting this. PS: Sir Peter Ustinov! Saw and heard his BRILLIANT 1-man show in London, when I was in "Aspects of Love, 1989-90 ... HE IS ... I started crying, watching him salute her. He was ... Ahhhhhh ... no words. GIANTS, y'all. We've been SO privileged, to have been able to see and hear them! 🙏 Yes?

    This is actually a historic moment in TIYL history Michael stinging the book on Petula Clark made her the first and only person to cop the book three times in February 1964 and April 1975 by the late Eamonn Andrews and here by Michael which was the final episode of Series 36

    I get goosebumps and chills not exactly for Ms Clark's music, which I love, but that she was so important to fighting men who were away from home and some would not be coming home. In a similar vein, I saw the Sofology commercial with Helena Bonham Carter and it made me see her in a new light, but what gave me chills is her grandfather was named Righteous among the Nations, by Israel for saving thousands of Jews by giving them Spanish visas.
