"I hadn't realized that Pet had had a whole life before her '60s hits, but I was just a kid then and not really aware of things before that decade. I was impressed at the uplifting lyrics and the upbeat optimism. Perhaps it was what people wanted to hear after coming through the horrors of the war years. I just wish that today's music scene was focused to good and happy thoughts. I have also since bought a couple of her DVD concerts and the one which is a reissue of a TV special she once did (& included quest Harry Bellefonte)was quite impressive. She is really talented and has a special way of adding vocal expression and melody to a song. I have found much more to appreciate and enjoy, songs of more substance and joy than just the pop hits which I knew her by in the '60s."

"Petula Clark is my favorite female singer. She had a great career before making it in America. The cuts on this CD show what a beautiful voice she had early in her career and still has today."
