Free Music Notes for Downtown - The Greatest Hits of Petula Clark
Free Music Review: MAYBE NOT HER GREATEST, BUT THE CHART HITS ARE HERE
Hit: 5 Stars
To start, a couple of quibbles . . . there are already an extraordinary number of compilations featuring these tracks, so why this one, as well? Only die-hard Clark fans with a propensity to buy anything with her name splattered across the front will see a need to buy this if most of the music herein is on another CD you already have. And why not have expanded the collection to make it a complete history including all 15 of her U.S. Top 40 hits? Those thoughts aside, this is an ideal compilation for those who vaguely recall "that Girl who sang Downtown" and her string of bouncy, upbeat, sing-and-dance along single releases. The one that sent her to our shores in late 1964, the Grammy-winning "Downtown" is, to my mind, one of the most beautiful and enduring tunes to emerge from the "British Invasion" in its entirety. Originally intended for the Drifers, the song was actually little more than a title and opening chords when writer Tony Hatch first played it for Clark, who liked the sound and asked that he finish it for her to record. With no anticipation of its ultimate impact, she knocked it off in three takes, selected the second for release, and returned home to France to a life that was on the verge of major disruption. It's follow-up, "I Know a Place" won for Clark her second Grammy, and the remaining tracks here represent most of her output while with Warner Brothers, including the worldwide monster hits "My Love" and "This Is My Song". Although the 2-CD collection "Downtown to Sunset Boulevard" will give you all the single hits plus a lot more for your money, this is a good investment for those casual fans who have nothing at all by Clark on their shelves.
