With three Grammy Awards and millions of sales to her name, Petula Clark is the iconic artist behind countless huge global hits including `Downtown', `I Know A Place', `My Love', `This Is My Song' and `I Couldn't Live Without Your Love'. Still blessed with a continuing love for creating music and an ability to inspire audiences all over the world, her career is a story that new artists can only aspire to emulate.
The latest chapter in
Petula Clark's enduring career comes with the September 30th release of a brand new studio album titled `From Now On'. Glossily electronic at times yet gloriously analogue at others, it's an album that sounds utterly of our times, without trying to be. The first single will be `Sacrifice My Heart', an electronically-charged, shimmering gem of a song, where Clark's voice is allowed to breathe freely: you can hear the joy in her performance.
Despite such achievements,
Petula Clark has also enjoyed a long and successful acting career. Highlights included starring alongside
Fred Astaire in
Francis Ford Coppola's musical `Finian's Rainbow' and with
Peter O'Toole in `Goodbye, Mr. Chips'. Her experience in music and movies made a move into musical theatre a natural progression. Her lead role in the 1980 London production of `The Sound of Music' resulted in the biggest advance ticket sales in British theatre history. She also starred in `Blood Brothers' in New York, and in
Andrew Lloyd Webber's `Sunset Boulevard' on both sides of the Atlantic.
Throughout her journey,
Petula Clark has continued to make music on a consistent basis. Her most recent album, 2017's `Living For Today', emerged to widespread critical acclaim.
