Description

The pairing of Tony Hatch with Petula Clark was perhaps the best composer / female vocalist match of the 1960's. Included on this album are twelve of Petula's fifteen effervescent American top forty hits. Her vocals in these tracks are characterized by impeccable timing, finesse, and deceptive power. The #1 hit My Love, The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener and Colour My World are playful songs with silly lyrics that are elevated by lush musical arrangements and Pet's superb vocals. Don't Sleep In The Subway is a beautiful, buoyant, up-tempo song, and Downtown and I Know A Place are 60's classicsmore…. A weakness of this CD is the omission of three of Pet's top forty hits, The Cat In The Window, the beautiful, uplifting Don't Give Up, and Round Every Corner.If you like one or two of Petula Clark's American hits, this is a good moderately priced CD to purchase. If you like several of her songs, you will get much more value and enjoyment from one of her multi-CD compilations which draws from her extensive, diversified catalogue of more than 1,000 recorded songs, such as Downtown To Sunset Blvd or Legendary which I believe are both slightly superior to the 2002 release, The Ultimate Collection.
