Petula Clark makes it her mission to live for today, but she’d prefer to make an exception on the afternoon we speak. The iconic singer—best known for her string of million-sellers in the 1960s—turned 85 this day, and an attempt to begin our phone call with a happy birthday greeting is met with a faux groan. “No, no no—don’t go there.

I felt like I was watching The Muppet Show. That probably says a lot about my age that the only memory I have of Petula Clark is via The Muppet Show. But frankly, beyond that memory I didn't know who the woman was. Petula Clark's era has long passed. Petula thrived in a day and age when television variety shows weren't just a telethon marketing gimmick; in that time Petula Clark reigned as a queen (one of a few). Dancing about with show men and wearing elaborate costumes - Petula Clark's career gets a revival via DVD compilation courtesy of the Infinity Entertainment Group.
Watching Portrait of Petula Clark you're taken back to a time when showmanship meant something. Meant anything really. We still have concerts today, but the production value put into them has more to do with pyrotechnics...
