    We see the warmth of Petula here and the lovely way she is able to receive compliments and fawning. I imagine all her friends mean everything they say. Petula warms my heart with happiness.

    For living her entire life in show business, Petula Clark is the most unshowbusinessy individual imaginable. She has always been firmly planted in real life in the best ways.

    One particular memory her song, 'Downtown' evokes for me is my time working in a residential hospital for adults with learning disabilities. One resident who was severely learning disabled and sightless would only ever show a spark of animation whenever this song was played.She absolutely adored it and would listen to it on a loop 24/7 had it been permitted. The only word of the song she knew was 'Downtown' which she'd belt out with real gusto, then she'd mumble along with the rest of the song. So thank you, Petula, for this.

    Watching a lot of American top shows it projected how popular Pet was in the USA to name but two Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra she was a great star among the great stars. Loved by the Americans as if she was one of their own. What a compliment for a Brit Star. I love you Pet............and I am 84 years old, but still watching you now in 2018.

    I get goosebumps and chills not exactly for Ms Clark's music, which I love, but that she was so important to fighting men who were away from home and some would not be coming home. In a similar vein, I saw the Sofology commercial with Helena Bonham Carter and it made me see her in a new light, but what gave me chills is her grandfather was named Righteous among the Nations, by Israel for saving thousands of Jews by giving them Spanish visas.
