In Love

1965

From the back cover: "Pet", as Miss Clark likes to be called, was discovered by most Americans in late 1964 via her million selling hit, "Downtown". However, Petula "Pet" Clark has been an international star in movies and on records for more than two decades. She has sold over 22 million records in Europe and has the unique distinction of making the top of the charts in the United States and seven different countries in Europe – all with different tunes. She sings in many languages and had her first hit at the early age of 17. She had a hit record in France, sung in French, before she actually learned to speak it fluently. The great demand on the continent for personal appearances encourage her to master French and other languages.

Her to-date fabulous career actually began when she was signed by the BBC to sing and recite poems for the families of British soldiers at the beginning of World War II. She was only nine years of age and in the next three years made over 500 appearances on the BBC.

Pet Clark was signed to a movie contract when she was but 12 years old and has starred in over two dozen films, many with the leading film stars of today. Quite a few of these films, in fact, have been shown on U.S. television.

The Twist craze in France afforded Miss Clark with the opportunity of again capturing the French population with her hit. Pet Clark has won many awards for her recording feats – actually too numerous to even list here. This lovely blond actress - vocalist - mother - wife and just plain nice people is highly deserving of the accolades heaped upon her for she has been studying, practicing and performing all of her life. As so many times happens in show business, she today is considered an overnight smash in the U.S. This particular overnight has lasted for more than 25 years.
