Obwohl Petula Clark aus Großbritannien stammt und in vielen Sprachen gesungen hat, sind für uns in erster Linie ihre deutschsprachigen Aufnahmen von Bedeutung was dazu führte, dass sie auch im Bereich "50er JAHRE INTERPRETEN - nicht englisch" einen eigenen Thread erhielt (links klicken) und ihre "Ur-Aufnahmen" in diesem Thread untergebracht wurden. Nach der Kurz-Bio wird daher vorerst einmal ihre britische Single-Disco folgen.
Kurz-Bio:
Die britische Sängerin und Schauspielerin Petula Clark wurde am 15. November 1932 in Epsom, Grafschaft Surrey, England, als Petula Sally Olwen Clark geboren. Ihre Karriere begann bereits 1944 als Kinderstar in diversen Filmen und 1949 kam es bereits zu ihrer ersten Plattenveröffentlichung. 1957 ging sie nach Frankreich, wo sie bereits mit französischsprachigen Songs relativ bekannt war. Ab 1960 machte sie auch deutschsprachige Aufnahmen und im Laufe der Zeit kamen noch weitere Sprachen dazu.
