Thursday, January 29, 2009

Go ahead. Say it. I don't care. I really like Petula Clark. Two of my favorites:

Steve said...: I remember roller skating to "Downtown". Another fav was "Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers. And who can forget couples skate to "Babe" by Styx.

Good times.; January 29, 2009 at 9:26 PM

Anonymous said...: One of the dark secrets of the O.G. archives is a reel of recording tape containing dubs of the radio (single) mixes of about 10 Clark songs. (Warner Brothers had a bad habit of fussing with EQ and compression in those days-- the albums just didn't sound like what I heard on the radio!)

Clark was also enchanting (as Finian's - Fred Astaire's - daughter) in the movie version of Finian's Rainbow. It's worth viewing provided you have a BIG screen. (The film was shot in 70mm, and the production numbers just don't make it at 17" diagonal.); January 30, 2009 at 10:09 AM
