Pet Sings for the Queen

July 29th, 2007

Petula Clark, July 10, 2007

The blog “Petula Clark: Drive by Emotion” has a post about a special performance that Pet gave in commemoration of the end of World War II for Britain. There’s a link to a recording of her performing just three weeks ago, but for convenience I’ll post it here. CORRECTION: Denro pointed out that as it’s been 62 years since the end of the war, it seemed odd this performance happened this month. He is correct. It was July 10, 2005.

Pet turns 75 in November, and considering that, the tricky notes she hits perfectly spot-on more than make up for the few that present more of a challenge for her than they once did.

C’mon, UK residents! Sign the online PETition to award this very special lady the acknowledgment that she deserves. Let there be Dame Petula Clark! Sir Michael Caine has spoken up. Perhaps Dame Julie Andrews could lend her support to the cause, as well.
