	BBC - Easy & Soundtracks Review - Petula Clark, Live At The Paris Olympia
		Evergreen Petula Clark has no plans to retire and bearing in mind her records used to outsell Piaf’s in France, a return date at a famous Paris venue in September 2003 was quite a nostalgic event.
		PETULA CLARK-LIVE AT THE PARIS OLYMPIA (Silva Screen SILCD 1169) records her in stunning form performing an equal mix of songs in English and French, with the latter contained mainly in two well received medleys of her Gallic hits.
		Clark's voice is as strong and rich as it was forty years ago, when "Downtown" first hit pop charts worldwide - her enunciation is so perfect you can hear her dot her "i"s and cross her "t"s, and she not only hits all the high notes, but holds them for several measures as well.

		There must be a million Petula Clark compilations out there but if you are looking for the best of the best, I would recommend "The Ultimate Collection" (2002), Kaleidoscope (2003) and this three disc set which covers mostly her 60s and early 70s work.
		The third CD is supposed to showcase Petula the diva by including some of her most dramatic performances that don't belong on either of the first two discs.

	Petula Clark : A Portrait of Petula (Bonus Tracks) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Where "When I Give My Heart" is exquisite here, Clark doesn't quite master "Lovin' Things" when she has to hit those high notes and battle the big band.
		Sure, it's a stretch, and a good one at that, but where it brought significance to Springfield's catalog, the sound is merely a pleasant and somewhat welcome addition to Clark's work -- many of her Tony Hatch hits had mega-orchestration anyway.
		There are more highs than lows on Portrait of Petula, and "My Funny Valentine" is charming and sweet (listen to Tony Hatch oversee her on Harold Arlen's "Come Rain or Come Shine" on the I Couldn't Live Without Your Love album for comparison).

		Yes, Petula Clark, the woman behind such hits as "Downtown," "My Love" and "I Know a Place," is getting more time in my CD player than others.

		Although Petula recorded many French songs, most of the tracks here are translated versions of British or American songs, so you don't have to understand French to enjoy the music.
		It was a number one hit for Petula in Singapore, but failed to chart for her in Britain and America.
		A translation of this and some other French songs can be found on Petula's official website, but briefly the song is about a sheriff who doesn't seem sure what to do with a woman but by the end of the song he's obviously learned what is required.

		I like petula clark and ''Downtown'' for ages i thought it was a Cilla song beause LimeWire said it was, i found out recently when i was in a quid shop, the song played and i got excited and said ''That's Cilla'' i got some strange looks.
