History
Petula Clark (born Sally Clark, 15 November 1932, in Ewell, Surrey, England) began performing as a child on BBC Radio in 1942 and scored her first UK hit in 1954 with "The Little Shoemaker." Through the 1950s and early 1960s she built parallel careers singing in English and French, reaching UK number one in 1961 with "Sailor." Her defining era came in 1964, when composer Tony Hatch wrote "Downtown" for her: released across several languages, it hit number one in the US in January 1965 and sold around three million copies there, earning her the nickname "the First Lady of the British Invasion" after fifteen consecutive US Top 40 hits, including "I Know a Place" and "My Love." "Downtown" won a Grammy for Best Rock & Roll Recording and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004. In 1968, a televised duet with Harry Belafonte in which she touched his arm caused controversy with the show's sponsor, becoming a notable moment in American TV history. Clark is estimated to have sold 100 million records worldwide.
