She became a chart success by the fifties and in 1961 she relocated to France, mainly to try abd shake off her teenage image. After much success she returned to the charts and her 1964 album " Downtown" also broke into the US charts. The single of the same name was awarded a Grammy and went to number one in the states, making Petula Clark the first British female to top the US charts. This success was followed by a string of top tens in America and Britain. This encouraged the BBC and an American Network to give Clark her own TV shows. As her commercial success faded in the sixties Clark returned to film and also musicals. She starred in 1981s " The Sound of Music" and made her Broadway debut in 1993s " Blood Brothers".

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Petula Clark at the 1958 Variety Club party, accompanied by the talented Alan Freeman. As one of the most commercially successful female singers in British pop music history, Petula Clark's journey to stardom is nothing short of remarkable. Her career began during World War II when she entertained British troops alongside other child artists, including Julie Andrews. In 1944, she made her first film appearance in "A Medal for the General". By the 1950s, Clark had already become a chart-topping sensation. In an attempt to break free from her teenage image, Petula relocated to France in 1961. However, this move did not hinder her success as her album "Downtown" reached both UK and US charts in 1964. The single of the same name even earned her a Grammy award and became number one on American charts – making Petula Clark the first British female artist to achieve such a feat. With numerous top ten hits on both sides of the Atlantic, Clark's popularity led to television shows produced by BBC and an American network. Although facing commercial setbacks in later years, she gracefully transitioned into film and musicals like "The Sound of Music" (1981) and made her Broadway debut with "Blood Brothers" (1993). This stunning photograph serves as a testament to Petula Clark's enduring talent and legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
