Biography

Edit

Petula Clark is the popular British singer whose success can be measured in terms of the 70 million records she has sold around the world.

Her rise to fame began when she toured as a child star entertaining the troops during World War II. When the war was over she began a film and television career, starring in several movies and hosting her own variety show. Her first album release was in 1949 and in the 1950s she enjoyed a string of hits in Britain starting with “The Little Shoemaker” in 1954. Her success spread to Europe as she signed with Vogue Records in France and began to release a series of foreign language albums. “Downtown” hit the charts in 1965 and marked her entry into American public affections. During the 60s she was a star but her commercial appeal began to wane towards the end of the decade. Nonetheless she continued to tour and performed to sell-out audiences across the world, juggled her work with a desire to spend more time with her family.

Even into the new millennium Petula Clark’s schedule remains packed, with one woman shows, tours and television appearances.
