Petula Clark, CBE is an English singer, actress, and songwriter born on 15 November 1932 in Ewell, Surrey, England. She began her professional singing career at the age of seven and gained popularity during World War II through radio performances and concerts for the troops. In addition to her successful music career, Petula also appeared in numerous films alongside renowned actors such as Peter Ustinov, Anthony Newley, and Alec Guinness.

Her first major recording contract was with Polygon Records in 1950, and she achieved chart success in the UK from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Some of her notable hits include "Sailor" and "This Is My Song," both reaching number one on the charts. In 1988, a remix of her hit song "Downtown" brought her back into the UK Top 10.

Petula's international breakthrough came in 1965 with her Grammy award-winning song "Downtown," which topped charts in America. She became the first British female singer to have two number one hits on the American charts with "My Love." Throughout her career, she has received accolades such as being voted Top Female Singer by Cashbox music trade magazine and Playboy magazine.

Two incredible performances that includes the BBC 1 broadcast segments, plus a full colour booklet with background liners and rare images. Digitally remastered for greatly enhanced sound quality Petula Clark, highlights from ‘This Is Petula Clark’, ‘Christmas Night With The Stars’ and ‘At The Talk Of The Town – Just Call Me Pet’. Ever since the million-selling Downtown put Petula Clark firmly at the top of the hit parade back in 1964, its success mirrored that of her career which spilled over into films and television on both sides of the Atlantic. Clark's recording successes led to frequent appearances on American variety programmes hosted by Ed Sullivan and Dean Martin, which led to an Oscar-winning alongside Fred Astaire. By 1967, she was a household name not only in the USA, but similarly in France and at home in her native UK. Numerous TV showcases and 15 consecutive Top 40 hits around the world counted in her success story as one of the UK’s most successful female singers of all time. Coupled with a prized selection from her first ever TV series ‘This Is Petula Clark’ in 1967, highlights from her appearance on ‘Christmas Night The Stars’, and ‘Just Call Me Pet’ from March 1967, London Calling proudly presents a spectacular tribute to the once wartime sweetheart with "a voice as sweet as chapel bells" who became the “first lady of pop” and holder of the CBE.
