Music Petula Clark signed 2001 Benham official Occasions FDC. Clark's success extended to the United States with a five-year run of career-defining, often upbeat singles, many written or co-written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. These include her signature song ”Downtown” (US number one), ”I Know a Place”, ”My Love” (US number one), ”A Sign of the Times”, ”I Couldn't Live Without Your Love”, ”Who Am I”, ”Colour My World”, ”This Is My Song” (by Charlie Chaplin; a UK number one), ”Don't Sleep in the Subway” and ”Kiss Me Goodbye”. Between January 1965 and April 1968, Clark charted with nine US top 20 hits in the US, where she was called ”the First Lady of the British Invasion”. Her international chart success was unequalled in recording history. In 1968 she was the recipient of the MIDEM international award for the highest worldwide sales by a female artist. This followed on from her 1967 MIDEM award for most sales in Europe by a European artist. It is estimated that Clark has sold 100 million records. She also enjoyed success in the musical film Finian's Rainbow, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a musical, and in the stage musicals The Sound of Music, Sunset Boulevard and Mary Poppins, for which she received BAFTA nominations. Clark, along with David Cassidy, has also been credited with rescuing Blood Brothers from failure in her Broadway debut. Good condition Est.
