Every song Petula sings is a treasure.

Guy Herman

It Is :) Enjoy the Music :)

Michael McCrory

Such an incredible singer, people ask me why do I prefer the music from the 60's, 70's and 80's, it obviously, Petula is an example of talent over hype and auto tune.

OrchidEqvinox76

I'm only 19, but Mom listened to a lot of 60s music when I was growing up. This still remains one of my absolute favorite songs of all time to this day. This and "Color My World." πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

Debbie Thomas

Yep... "Color My World" thanks for the reminder of that song πŸ‘Š

Darren Plumpton

@orchideqvinox765
You my friend have impeccable taste and a absolutely brilliant choice in the music that you listen to.
Extremely well done.

Jesse Frankel

Liked the version done by the Vogues, but her voice is something else, clear, powerful and lovely.

Sir Gaff Pennyworth

I agree. Glad I found this version, she recorded it first, but I do like The Vogues version. Hugh Geyes made that song come alive.

Don Krause

Clark wrote the song, but the Vogues recorded it first.

Ray Brown

@Don Krause No, Clark's is the original, recorded for her "I Know A Place" LP (also titled "The New Petula Clark Album" in the UK), which LP was charting on the Billboard 200 albums chart beginning in late May 1965. The Vogues' single version wasn't out and on the charts until September.
