Petula Clark, CBE (born November 15, 1932), is an English singer, actress and composer, best known for her upbeat popular international hits of the 1960s. With nearly 70 million recordings sold worldwide, she is the most successful British solo female recording artist to date.

Perhaps best known for her massive hit ‘DownTown’ and whilst being English, Petula’s work was heavily French-influenced. Married to a Frenchman, in many ways she was to become almost naturalised French, much influenced by the French singer Edith Piaf. Having first hit the big time in her home country of the U.K. in the 1950s, she later was to branch out to become a major success in much of Europe. That success was followed by success in Scandinavia and also in Canada and Australia. Finally, Petula hit big in America, as elsewhere, with ‘Downtown’. In only its first nine months of release, this massive hit sold nearly three million copies in at least twelve countries.

    For anyone who is interested, EMI release on 23 April 2012 'Completely Cilla: 1963-1973' - a 5CD boxset of material by the British pop singer Cilla Black who began her career alongside The Beatles in Liverpool during the 1960s. Cilla went on to chart 18 Top 40 singles during that decade and toured across the world with many of the other sixties greats. The new set contains 139 recordings all produced by George Martin (the man behind The Beatles' hits) and comes with a bonus Region 0 / NTSC DVD of many previously unreleased BBC TV music performances.

    why is 'things go better with coke' such a popular song in the 'last 6 months' and has quite a lot of plays? I've never heard of it and can't find any places to find it apart from one site where it is on ONE vinyl and that's it. I can't even find a cd it is on. Find that strange. I would love to find it, but can't find a place to hear it :/
