Stage Door

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.

Following the critically acclaimed release of Stage Door's Petula Clark On Air 1951-1961 album is a brand new collection of previously unreleased Petula Clark recordings; 'In Copenhagen 1958-1961'. Dating from 1958 to 1960, the recordings featured on this album represent a historic and landmark archival discovery. From the archives of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, the featured recordings shine a light on a remarkable part of Petula Clark's career that to date has remained relatively unknown and unreported outside of Scandinavia. This specially compiled album features 23 recordings all of which are previously unissued on CD and unheard since their original broadcasts.

Digitally remastered from the original master tapes, the featured studio recordings represent selections from four Petula Clark television specials recorded and broadcast exclusively in Denmark over a two-year period. With musical accompaniment by Bent Fabric and His Quartet, the selections spotlight Petula as a jazz song stylist and torch singer, the majority of the featured numbers were never recorded commercially or performed outside of these broadcasts. Highlights include The Folks Who Live on the Hill, Over the Rainbow, I'll Be Seeing You and Among My Souvenirs.
