Petula Clark (born 15 November 1932) is an English singer and actress, internationally famous for the 1964 hit "Downtown" and a career spanning from the 1940s to the present.

Recorded in English and French; major international hits in the 1960s; long-performing career with many compilations and live albums.

Two DeBaser reviews (both by Danny The Kid) praise Petula Clark's voice and songs 'Chariot' and 'My Friend The Sea'. The reviews emphasize nostalgia, timeless melodies and simple, affecting lyrics. Both pieces rate the music highly and celebrate Clark's enduring artistry. The writing mixes affectionate irony with clear admiration.

For:Fans of 1960s pop, easy listening, vintage pop aficionados and readers of nostalgic music criticism.

 Can what I am beginning to write be defined as a review? I don't know, maybe, maybe not, the only certainty is that in this case the term "review" sounds really bad to me: I mean, me, reviewing "Chariot"? And why not the Taj Mahal, or the Odyssey, or Giorgione's Tempest?

 "Oh you great ocean so deep, oh you ocean so wide, I feel you are my friend so in you I confide, you know the world, every land, every shore, there's not a place you don't explore, send every wave as it rolls on its way searchin' high, searchin' low, searchin' each little bay, send out a plea to the whole of seven seas, where is the one I adore? My friend the sea be good to me, my love one day sailed far away, my friend the sea, please ask the tide to bring my love on to my side"
