The good stuff that most fans remember.......2006-06-25

While not the anthology that would please persistent Petulaites, this is a good collection for those of us who remember when Petula Clark was a constant (and reassuring) presence on AM top 40 radio.

I was born in 1964, but I remember much of this from my early childhood, as Charleston SC's WTMA AM (now a talk station) played them often and our house had the radio on frequently duinrg the mid-late 1960s. This is some of the earliest music that I remember liking as a child.

Nostalgic baby boomers and early Gen-X-ers will feel a sense of warmth over "Downtown," "I Know a Place," "Don't Sleep in the Subway," "My Love, & "This Girl's In Love With You." Others should like it too. Her vocals on the latter are quite lovely.

Whatever the sound quality of this collection, it appears to be the closest thing there is to a real collection of Pet's greatest hits. Many of Pet's fans on the American side of the Atlantic may not realize that Pet had 13 hits in Britain before Downtown, starting way back in 1954, 7 of which were top 10 hits, including her #1 hit "Sailor" in 1961. Unfortunately, almost all of her "greatest hits" packages ignore all these hits. But this package includes most of them. Do get one of her other anthologies for her later hits if you want the better sound quality for those songs, but if you really want her early British hits, I think you'll only find them on this collection. But you'll have to look elsewhere for her French hits. Maybe someday someone will put out a real greatest hits collection.

I can't get enough of Petula Clark's Greatest Hits! Do you remember the scene in "Goodbye, Mr. Chips", when Petula sings the school song with all her heart? The whole school turns and stares at her in awe. Who wouldn't? Her clear, strong, and expressive voice is just captivating. Her choice of songs is fabulous - cheerful, modern, exhilarating. When she sings "Who Am I?", I can see myself taking off from the ground to the clouds! We need a lot more of this kind of music!

I love the songs of Petula Clark and her Greatest Hits CD is wonderful. All the songs you remember from years ago sound the same and her voice is just darling. I highly recommend this CD if you love the sounds of Petula Clark. She has a beautiful voice and one that can rock you to sleep.
