Petula Clark

Rightio, time has arrived to play some more requests and young Jackie is first in line today.

Jackie asked to hear the wonderful sound of Petula Clark and this particular song.

So here we go, Jackie.

This is especially for you.

When the tide turns Come home safe to me As you sail across the sea All my love is there beside you In Capri or Amsterdam Save the sea Sail on When the tide turns Come home Save to me As you sail across the sea

In Caprio, Amsterdam

On 96.5 Inner FM, we just heard from the wonderful Petula Clark with her English version of a German song, the English title being Sailor.

And it was my pleasure to play that one for Jackie.

deliberately off key can we say Yeah, well, I don't know if it's deliberately, but it's not your standard singing, is it? No.

It's not Petula Clark and Glen Campbell that we've listened to fairly recently on this podcast.

I think John Lydon heard it, didn't he? Yeah, yeah.

It's all right.

I've got Mel Torme, Julie London, Dusty Springfield, the Ramsey Lewis Trio.

We have got just an action-packed show in store for you today, including Petula Clark, but we're going to kick it off here with one of my absolute favorites.

This is such a beautiful rendition of this great Greek song.

It's called Misirlou, and this one, to kick off the Space Age Lou out here at Cardwell's Cove, this version is by Sophia Vempo to kick off the show today.

We kicked it off with that beautiful, haunting rendition of Miserleu, that was by Sofia Vempo.

Then a couple of French-language tracks there.

We had Chanson d'Amour, and that was by Art and Daddy Todd, followed by C'est Ma Chanson, It's My Song by Petula Clark.

Then we had Walk Don't Run by The Ventures, a little surf interlude there.

My first thought around this, is this something you found on other stereo mixes mainly by Pi at this time? Because it's not something I've really come across on other stereo LPs in quite the same way.

No, I don't think that there's anything analogous I find, you know, in The Searchers or Petula Clark or whoever else.

Yeah, so I don't have any insight as to why something else is so strange with all the out-of-phase compatible elements or incompatible elements, because it's certainly, you know, at a certain point when you flip to mono, you know, certain vocals disappear.

It's just...

Ron Katz knows that.

Petula Clark.

No, short circuit.

You know what I'm talking about? That I know.

... uh, when I sang.

Although I did do a little of Petula Clark on Tuesday, which some people appreciated, Michael.

Really?

Yeah, a couple of people liked it.
